Waterville, Maine - Junior Eric Shattenkirk (New Rochelle, N.Y.) hit two home runs to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 19-9 win in the second game and a sweep of both the day’s doubleheader and the weekend’s three-game series against the Colby College White Mules in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) East Division baseball action this afternoon.
Trinity, ranked No. 6 in New England, improves to 11-5 overall and 5-1 in the NESCAC, while the White Mules drop to 5-8-1 overall and 0-4 in the league. Trinity, which was the home team since the games were moved to Waterville due to heavy rain in Connecticut, took the second game, 5-1.
Senior co-captain Kurt Piantek (Wallingford, Conn.) homered in both games for the Bantams, while sophomore righty Mark Tremblay (Hooksett, N.H.) pitched seven strong innings to earn the win on the mound in the first game, and freshman Kyle Cox (Hinsdale, Ill.) tossed five-plus innings in relief to win the nightcap.
