BRUNSWICK, Me. -- Tufts University sophomore pitcher
Kevin Gilchrist (Medford, MA) tossed a
complete-game, one-hit shutout in a 5-0 Jumbo win over Bowdoin on
Friday evening. The Jumbos take game one of this key three-game
NESCAC East Division set and improve to 20-3 overall (8-1 NESCAC),
while the Polar Bears lose their fourth straight to fall to 20-9
(3-4 NESCAC).
The Jumbos scored four runs in the first inning, as sophomore 3B
Sam Sager (Cranston, RI) scored junior shortstop
David LeResche (St. Louis, MO) with a sacrifice
fly to make it 1-0. One batter later, junior LF Ian Goldberg (Lake Forest, IL) scampered home on a wild pitch
before sophomore 1B Matt Collins (Hopkinton, MA)
laced a hit to right field that appeared to be caught by Bowdoin's
Joe Comizio, but was ruled a hit by the umpire, allowing two
additional Tufts runs to come home.
That proved to be all Gilchrist would need, as the sophomore did
not allow a hit until the sixth, when Bowdoin's Brendan Garner
ripped a double to the left-center gap. Gilchrist walked five and
struck out five in the victory. Tim Welch went 3.1 innings for the
Polar Bears, permitted four earned runs before giving way to Joe
Pace, who tossed 5.2 scoreless innings of relief to keep Bowdoin in
the game.
Collins led all players with three hits for Tufts.
The teams will play a twinbill on Saturday beginning at
noon.
