The Hurricanes dropped Game 1 of a 3-game series against the Dartmouth Big Green on Friday, 1-0.
The only run of the game came in the top of the first inning, when two consecutive Dartmouth doubles drove in their first and only run. Jesse Lepore then handled the rest of the inning, and ultimately the game, easily.
It looked like the Hurricanes might come back quickly, when Johnny Ruiz hit a ground-rule double in the bottom of the second, but two strikeouts and a groundout ended a chance for a Hurricane run.
Both sides didn’t do anything offensively until the top of the sixth, when Dartmouth put a man in scoring position, but a strikeout for Jesse Lepore ended the threat.
