TRINITY BASEBALL CRUSHES BATES
IN DOUBLEHEADER
Hartford, Conn.- Senior co-captain right-hander Jarret Bayliss (Williamstown, Mass) came within one out of his second career no-hitter to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 19-0 win in the first game and a sweep of the doubleheader against the Bates College Bobcats in New England Small College Athletic Conference baseball action this afternoon. The Bantams pounded 24 hits in the second game in a 19-1 triumph. Trinity, which is ranked No. 1 in the New England Division III Coaches Poll, improves to 17-1 and 5-0 in the NESCAC with its College-record 14th straight win. Bates falls to 0-10 and 0-4 in the league.
Bayliss yielded a two out, two strike single up the middle to senior co-captain Matt Pound (Sante Fe, N.M.) in the top of the seventh inning to break up the no-hit bid. Bayliss had tossed a nine-inning no-hitter in his freshman year against Western New England. Sophomore Kurt Piantek (Wallingford, Conn.) smacked two home runs, and junior Andrew Freimuth (Bristol, Conn.) had three hits including his team-high sixth homerun for the Bantam offense.
In the second game, the Trinity bats remained equally hot, as Piantek and junior Tom Osuch (Fairhaven Mass.) each hit homers for the Bants. Trinity senior co-captain right-hander Jack Richardson (Arlington, Va.) allowed three hits and one run over seven innings to pick up his fourth win of the season on the mound.
