WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- The Amherst College baseball team kept its hopes for a NESCAC West Division title alive Friday with an 14-6 win over rival Williams at Bobby Coombs Field.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: 

* Amherst jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Jack McDermott got things started with a one-out single. He stole second and scored when Ryan McIntyre ripped an RBI-double. Jack Dobve singled McIntyre to third but was thrown out trying to steal for the second out of the inning. Jack Sampedro and Luke Padian then came through with back-to-back RBI-doubles driven to right-center field for the three-run lead. 

* The Mammoths added four runs in the second inning. Back-to-back Eph errors put Christian Fagnant and Tyler McCord on first and second with no outs. After an out, McDermott crushed a two-run triple to right center for a 5-0 lead. McIntyre drew a walk and Dove lined a sacrifice fly to right to score McDermott. McIntyre stole second and then scored on an RBI-single by Sampedro for a 7-0 Amherst lead. 

* The Mammoths led 7-1 when they added two more in the fourth. McDermott drew a lead-off walk before being forced at second by McIntyre, who scored when Dove boomed a triple to right field. Dove scored on a Sampedro single for a 9-1 Amherst lead.
