Bulldogs Top Quinnipiac For First Home Win

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Yale baseball team picked up its first home win of the season with a 6-1 triumph over Quinnipiac on Wednesday afternoon at Bush Field. Davis Hanson hit a first-inning homer and Josh Richardson pitched 5.2 innings of shutout ball to lead the Bulldogs to the non-conference victory.

Yale improved to 3-11 overall while the Bobcats fell to 5-12 this season.

How it Happened
  • Bottom 1st | Hanson crushed a homer to left to put the Bulldogs on the board early. Following a single by Jake Williams, teammate Alec Atkinson brought him home with a single of his own. Yale led 2-0 after the opening frame.
  • Bottom 2nd | The Bulldogs tallied a pair of runs on sac flies by Hanson and Williams.
  • Bottom 3rd | Catcher Max Imhoff singled home Chris DiPrima to extend the Bulldogs' lead to 5-0.
  • Top 4th | The Bobcats scored their lone run of the game on a sac fly from Jared Zimbardo.
  • Top 6th | Quinnipiac threatened to rally, but Richardson punched out Dominick Proctor and Max Imhoff threw out Kyle Garbowski for a beautiful double play.
  • Top 7th | Richardson continued his fantastic game on the mound with a pickoff of a Quinnipiac runner.
  • Bottom 8th | The Bulldogs tallied their final run on a perfectly executed squeeze play. After Hayden Sobecki stole second and third, Alec Atkinson stepped up to the plate. Sobecki once again took off toward home, and Atkinson dropped down a perfect bunt in front of the Bobcats pitcher. As Sobecki scored easily, Atkinson made it to first on a single with no throw. 
Game Notes
  • The Bulldogs picked up the win over the Bobcats for the first time since 2022.
  • Richardson entered in the fourth inning and finished the game. The senior was fantastic, only allowing two hits through 5.2 innings while striking out a career-high nine batters. Richardson has been a strikeout machine, punching out 19 batters over his last 10.2 innings pitched.
  • Hanson homered for the third time this season. He leads the team in home runs, hits, extra-base hits, and RBIs.
  • Sobecki stole two bases and is a perfect 3-3 on steal attempts this season
  • Carter Kessinger started the game on the mound, pitching three shutout innings.
  • Atkinson tallied two RBIs and has a pair of multi-RBI games in a row.
