The Big Green (13-9, 10-0 Ivy) got a gutty pitching performance by junior Robert Young (Cleburne, Texas) in the opener of the four-game series, while junior Ben Murray (Grants Pass, Ore.) tossed an efficient eight innings in game two.

Dartmouth closer Ryan Smith (Greenlawn, N.Y.) earned saves in each game, recording the last two outs on strikes with two men on base in the first game, then retiring the side in order in the ninth of game two. The sophomore now has nine saves this year, breaking his own school record while setting a new career standard with 16.
