MEDFORD -- Senior captain Zack Brown (Melrose, MA) pitched a complete-game victory as the Tufts Jumbos won the first game of a double-header from the Bates Bobcats, 2-1, in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) baseball action on Saturday afternoon.

Brown allowed seven hits, with junior 2B Pat Collins (Walpole, MA) doubling home sophomore C Ben Donaldson (Lemoine, ME) for the only Bates run in the top of the second. Tufts sophomore RF Dan Callahan (Medfield, MA) tied the game in the bottom of the third with a run-scoring double. In the home fifth, Bates narrowly missed turning a double play to end the inning, then the Jumbos scored the eventual game winner on a bases-loaded walk by junior 2B Cory Dolich (Alameda, CA).

Tufts improved to 9-3 overall and 1-0 in the league. Bates remained winless at 0-6 and 0-2 in the NESCAC.
