Waltham, Mass. – The visiting Trinity College Bantams were held to three runs in 14 innings, suffering a 3/4-1/2 doubleheader sweep against the Brandeis University Judges in baseball action this afternoon.  Trinity falls to 14-15, while the Judges up their record to 13-19.

Brandeis received complete-game pitching performances from rookie Sean O'Neill and junior Sam Miller, as the pair scattered 12 hits across their 14 innings of work. In the opener, O'Neill held the Bantams off the board until the seventh inning. He gave up seven hits and just one earned run, striking out five and walking one to improve to 5-2.  Miller yielded five hits in seven innings, fanning five and walking two.  Trinity's losses were suffered by first-year Nicholas Fusco (Woodbridge, Conn.), who allowed four hits and two earned runs with two K's and three walks in six innings, and junior Dylan Callahan (Greenwich, Conn.) who went 5.2 innings with six hits and three earned runs allowed, one strikeout, and two free passes.    

Trailing, 3-0, entering the seventh inning of game one, Trinity got a single from rookie OF Brendan Pierce (Hingham, Mass.) and an RBI double from senior SS Adam Moossman (East Northport, N.Y to spoil the shutout. Junior Dan Pidgeon (Darien, Conn) added a base knock to put the tying run on base, but O'Neill induced a 6-4-3 double play to end the game.  In game two, Trinity senior CF Evan Abraham (Pacific Palisades, Calif.) got the visitors off to a quick start with a lead-off home run, and freshmen Pierce and Tyler Forgione (North Branford, Conn.) followed with singles but Miller retired the next two.  Brandeis took the lead in the third with three runs including the go-ahead score on a squeeze bunt by 2B Brian Allen.  A solo homer by Pierce in the top of the fourth was the lone Bantam hit the rest of the way, while the Judges scored twice more in the bottom of the fourth stanza.
