Game 2: Brown 11 Yale 3
Providence, R.I. – Brown’s offense exploded on Sunday afternoon, taking two from Yale on Senior Day. The Bears built leads of 15-0 and 11-0 in the two games before going on to win 17-10 and 11-3 respectively, keyed by the hitting of senior captain Matt Nuzzo (Everett, MA), who had three home runs and nine RBI’s on the day. With the wins, Brown improves to 22-18-1 on the season, and 15-5 in Ivy League play.
The first game saw some fireworks from the Bears, who broke out the lumber in a 17-10 win. Brown struck early and often, scoring 15 runs in the first three innings while shutting out the Bulldogs, essentially putting the game away. After senior Steve Daniels (Fox Point, WI) led off the inning with a double, and catcher Matt Colantonio (Garden City, N.Y.) followed with a walk, Nuzzo crushed a ball to left center field for an early 3-0 lead. Though the Bulldogs escaped without further incident, the tone had been set for the remainder of the game.
