NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Bulldogs host their first Ivy League games of the season this weekend with a three-game series against Dartmouth at George H.W. Bush '48 Field.  The series begins Saturday with a doubleheader starting at 11:30 a.m. and concludes with a single game on Sunday at 12 p.m.

The Bulldogs' game at Fairfield on Wednesday was canceled due to weather.  Yale last played on Sunday and earned a victory at Cornell.  With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 13-8 overall and 4-2 in league play.

Colton Shaw, Carson Swank and Mike Walsh earned spots on the weekly Ivy League Honor Roll.  Shaw hit safely in all four games last week and went 6 for 19 with six runs scored.  Swank had a grand slam and seven RBI last weekend, and Walsh allowed one run over seven innings at Cornell last Saturday. 

The Bulldogs went 2-2 last week and had a five-game win streak snapped on Saturday.  The Yale offense exploded for 18 runs on Sunday in a victory at Cornell.  

The 18 runs marked a season-high for runs scored in a conference game. In addition to 16 hits against Cornell on Sunday, Yale hitters drew a season-best 12 walks against Big Red pitching.  

Jimmy Chatfield and Jake Gehri hit back-to-back homers in the game.  Both enter the week tied for a team-best six home runs.
