Mammoths play WNEU to 7-7 draw on the diamond

AMHERST, Mass. -- A six-run fifth inning helped the Amherst College baseball team play Western New England University to a 7-7- tie at Memorial Field Wednesday. 

The Mammoths saw their record move to 6-13-1 while the Golden Bears shifted to 12-9-1. Amherst hosts Trinity Friday at 4 p.m. in its annual Pride game. 

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: 

* Amherst fell behind 3-0 after two innings but scratched for a single run in the fourth when Jack McDermott led off with a double to left and scored one out later when  Jack Dove lined a single to right field. 

*Down 4-1, the Mammoths exploded for their biggest inning at home on the season in the bottom of the fifth. With one out, Christian Fagnant drew a walk and advanced to second on Chris Murphy's single to right. Ryan McIntyre followed with a screaming liner to left that hit off the top of the fence, two feet from a three-rum homer. Amherst would then plate five riuns with two outs. Jackson Reydel lined a two-run double to left that tied the game, 4-4. Dove walked and Camden New bounced a single through the left side of the infield, scoring Reydel with the go-ahead run. Jack Sampedro then came through with a two-run single for a 7-4 Mammoth lead. 

* WNEU rallied to tie the game with two in the seventh inning and one in the eighth to re-tie the game, 7-7. The visitors had the bases loaded and two outs in the inning but Ian Donahue struck out his final batter to end the threat. The visitors loaded the bases again with two outs in the ninth, but sophomore Nick Giattino induced a groundball to second to wiggle out of the jam. 

* The Mammoths had a chance to win it in their half of the ninth when, with two outs and nobody on, McDermott walked and Reydel was hit by a pitch. They moved up to second and third, but Dove was retired on a groundout to end the inning. 

* Amherst had 11 hits, led by McDermott, Murphy and Reydel with two each. 

* Sam Robin pitched a hitless 1 1/3 innings of relief in the tie.
