Mammoths Tame Cougars by 17-3 Score

AMHERST, Mass. -- It took the Amherst College baseball team only four batters to establish that Wednesday might just be its day as the Mammoths went single, single, home run, home run and led 4-0 en route to a 17-3 victory over Clark University at Memorial Field. 

Amherst improved to 7-3-1 heading into a weekend series at conference foe Hamilton. The schedule for the weekend has shifted, with the two teams slated to play a nine-inning game at 12 p.m. Saturday and a doubleheader beginning at noon Sunday. Clark fell to 9-7 with the loss. 

GAME HIGHLIGHTS:

* Jack Sampedro led off the bottom of the first with a single to left, extending his season-long hitting streak to 11 games. Jack McDermott lined a single to right and Ryan McIntyre followed with a deep blast to left field that cleared the fence by a good margin for a three-run homer and a 3-0 lead. Luke Padian followed with a titanic blast toward center field that cleared the fence for a solo home run and a four-run lead. 

* Amherst led 6-0 after one, but Clark scratched its way back to 6-3. The Mammoths responded with three runs in the bottom of the fifth and exploded for six more in the sixth to blow the game open at 15-3. 

* In the Amherst fifth, Jack Dove grounded a single back up the middle with one out. Christian Limon singled to left. Tyson Luna lined a single to left center that scored Dove. Limon then scored on a wild pitch. Jack Sampedro walked and moments later tried to steal second, getting caught in a rundown. Luna broke off third and headed home, beating the throw from third base for a steal of home and a 9-3 lead. 

* In the Amherst sixth, Dove drove in Reydel, who had singled, with a single. McDermott's grounder was misplayed, allowing Dove to score. With the bases loaded, McIntyre drove a long fly to right that just eluded the effort of the Cougars' right fielder and went for a three-run triple. Padian followed with an RBI-single that scored McIntyre.



BY THE NUMBERS:
