MEDFORD -- Sophomore Steve Lapham (Newburyport, MA) pitched a complete-game victory, 7-0, in game two to help the Tufts Jumbos sweep a double-header from the Bates Bobcats in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) baseball action on Saturday afternoon. Tufts won the first game, 2-1.

Lapham held the Bobcats to one hit over the first four innings as the Jumbos built a 6-0 lead. In the top of the sixth, Bates freshman Liam Ryan (Marblehead, MA) was thrown out at the plate trying to score to preserve Lapham's second shutout of the season. Tufts senior SS Mike Gray (Teaneck, NJ) had two RBIs and the Jumbos twice executed double-steals, with junor LF Todd Boutwell (Woburn, MA) and freshman CF Evan Zupancic (Lake Oswego, OR) swiping home.

Tufts improved to 10-3 overall and 2-0 in the league. Bates remained winless at 0-6 and 0-2 in the NESCAC.
