NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Castleton State swept a
non-league baseball doubleheader from Norwich on Tuesday afternoon
at Garrity Field. The Spartans took the opener 10-1, before
pounding the Cadets 18-1 in the nightcap.
The first game was close for the first six innings, with
Castleton holding a 3-1 lead as the game entered the seventh. The
Spartans pushed across seven runs in that frame, though, to account
for the final margin.
Billy Manley paced the Castleton attack at the plate, going
3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored. Matt Eisenhuth was
3-for-3 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored. Garrett
Bissonnette and Mitch Thresher each drove in two runs apiece for
the Spartans
The run support was more than enough for CSC starting pitcher
Brandon Fay (1-1), who pitched a complete game five-hitter. Fay
struck out 10 batters in the contest without allowing a walk. The
lone run that he yielded was unearned.
Donovan Brown went 2-for-3 with a double to lead Norwich in the
opener. Ian Caird (0-4) pitched reasonably well until running into
trouble in the seventh inning. He went 6.1 innings and gave up
seven earned runs on 14 hits. He recorded three strikeouts.
Castleton (13-10) took control of the nightcap early, plating
eight runs in the second inning. Manley blasted a pair of home runs
during the inning, which was aided by a pair of Norwich fielding
errors.
The Spartans led 9-1 before adding five runs in the sixth inning
and four more in the seventh.
Manley finished the game 5-for-5 with three runs batted in and
three runs scored. Jack Lancelin went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and
one run scored, while Chris Albert was 3-for-4 with three runs
scored and an RBI.
Matthew Tuthill (2-2) got the victory on the hill for the
Spartans after allowing just four hits over 5.0 innings.
Alexandro Cardoza (0-2) took the loss for the Cadets after
giving up eight runs in 2.0 innings.
Bret Manning went 2-for-4 with an RBI to pace Norwich at the
plate.
Norwich (0-23-1) will continue its homestand on Wednesday, April
15, when the Cadets host in-state rival St. Michael's College at 3
p.m.
