Three baseball players with two hits each in loss at Amherst

Continentals score three runs in the second inning and two more in the ninth

Amherst College racked up 13 hits, Jacob Ribitzki allowed two runs in seven innings of relief, and the Mammoths posted a 12-5 NESCAC West Division win over the Hamilton College Continentals at Amherst's Memorial Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Mammoths took the weekend series by winning two out of three games. The teams split a doubleheader in Clinton on Saturday.

Hamilton (3-6, 3-6 NESCAC West) is scheduled to conclude the 2021 season with a NESCAC West Division doubleheader at Middlebury College on Saturday, April 24. The first pitch of Game 1 will be at 1:30 p.m.

Phil Bernstein '23 singled, doubled and drove in two runs out of the leadoff spot for the Continentals. Bernstein is hitting .394 and leads the team with seven RBI. Brady Slinger '22 and Gavin Schaefer-Hood '22 added two hits apiece. Slinger tops Hamilton in batting average (.414) and on-base percentage (.514). Michael Ghiorsi '23 retired all three batters he faced in the eighth inning.

Chris Murphy led the Amherst offense with three hits and three RBI and had one of the team's three doubles. Four other players had two hits each.

The Mammoths (4-2, 4-2) took an early lead with three runs in the bottom of the first inning, but the Continentals responded with three in the next frame. Schaefer-Hood led off with a single to left and Jacob Han '21 walked. After the next two batters popped out to third, Bernstein drove in both runners with a double – his first this season -- to right center. Ethan Harrast '23 walked and Slinger followed with a single to center field that plated Bernstein with the tying run.

Amherst took the lead for good with four runs in the fourth inning. The Mammoths tacked on two in the sixth and three in the seventh for a commanding 12-3 advantage.

Hamilton scored its last two runs in the top of the ninth. Bernstein led off with a single up the middle and eventually crossed home plate on the first collegiate hit by Cole Robertson '23. Robertson moved around on a wild pitch and a groundout before he scored on the first base hit by Mike Altman '23 as a Continental.
