Chatfield Homers in 8-7 Victory Over Quinnipiac

Yale has won three of last four games

Jimmy Chatfield homered and Mason LaPlante scored twice to help the Bulldogs defeat Quinnipiac 8-7 on Wednesday in Hamden, Conn.

With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 17-11 and have won three of four.  Next up for the Bulldogs is a three-game series with first-place Columbia beginning on Saturday.

Chatfield slammed a two-run shot, his team-leading 8th of the season, to cap a six-run second inning and give Yale a 6-1 lead.  Alec Atkinson and Max Imhoff also had run-scoring hits in the inning.

Seven different Bulldogs had at least one hit and scored at least one run. LaPlante went 1 for 3, walked twice and stole three bases. 

Teddy Hague and Carson Swank both went 2 for 4 in the game. 

Ben Metzner added a sac fly to score LaPlante in the seventh inning, and Jake Gehri scored Swank after reaching on an error in the 9th.  

Mick Kelley was credited with the victory after pitching 2 and 2/3 innings.  He struck out four and allowed one run.
