Owls dominate Dolphins in doubleheader sweep

FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- The Kenyon College baseball team rode strong pitching to a doubleheader sweep of the College of Mount Saint Vincent Dolphins at the Lawnwood Complex on Thursday. Three Kenyon hurlers guided the Owls to an 8-4 game-one win and then Lewis Cropper went the distance in game two, as the Owls prevailed 5-0.

In his seven innings of work, Cropper yielded just two hits. He struck out eight and walked three. Only one Mount Saint Vincent batter reached second base. Cropper, who is now 2-0, has an early-season ERA of 2.55 and 25 strikeouts in just under 18 innings pitched.

While Cropper held the Dolphins at bay, the Kenyon bats peppered Mount Saint Vincent pitching with 16 hits, 14 of which were singles. At the top of the Owls order, Nate Rosen, Drew Robinson, and Edwin Groff all had three hits. Malcolm Gaynor added two, as did Kyle Dwyer.

Kenyon opened game-two scoring with a pair of runs in the first inning. Those runs crossed the plate on an RBI groundout from Groff and then on an error committed by the Dolphins defense.

Two more Kenyon runs scored in the top of the third inning. After a Gaynor single and a Groff double, Gaynor came around to score on another defensive miscue. Stephen Carr then singled home Groff.

The Owls loaded the bases with no outs in both the fifth and sixth innings, but managed only one run out of it. That run scored after Carr hit into a double play with the bases jammed.

In game one, the Owls faced a little more adversity. Mount Saint Vincent (6-5) got to Kenyon starter Theo Canning for two runs in the top of the first inning. Canning settled down after that and allowed the Owls offense time to take the lead by shutting down the Dolphins over the next three frames.

Meanwhile, Kenyon got a sacrifice fly from Parker Ellis to cut the deficit in half. Then, in the bottom of the fourth, the Owls scored three times to take a 4-2 advantage. A Robinson single brought home two runs and fielder's choice from Gaynor plated one more Kenyon run.

Canning exited the game after four innings for Kenyon and the Dolphins went to work on reliever Noah Rosenberg. They capitalized on two walks, which set the stage for Engers Marte to lace a two-run single that tied the game at 4-4.

Kenyon, which had 14 hits in game one, didn't back down. The Owls regained the lead with two runs in the bottom of the fifth and then tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth. Rosen, Robinson, Dwyer, and Dustin Lee were responsible for one RBI each over that two-inning stretch.

Liam Rosengren, who relieved Rosenberg, picked up the pitching win after nailing down the final seven outs, two via strikeout, without allowing a hit.

Throughout the twinbill, Groff went 6-for-8 with two runs scored and an RBI, Robinson was 5-for-7 with three RBI, and Dwyer was 4-for-7 with a run and two RBI.

Kenyon (8-3) has one game left in Florida before heading back north. That game will be Friday at 1:30 pm against Marywood University (6-3).
