ASHLAND, Va. -- The Tufts Jumbos scored at least two runs in all nine innings on their way to an impressive 28-5 victory over Randolph-Macon College in baseball action on Sunday afternoon. Tufts improves to 2-0 on its spring trip, while the Yellow Jackets fell to 3-6.
The Jumbos had 27 hits in the game, including a 5 for 5 with four runs scored and six runs batted in effort by senior CF Evan Zupancic (Lake Oswego, OR). Lead off man Jon Herbert (Davidsonville, MD) went 4 for 6 with two runs and five runs batted in. Zupancic swatted two home runs and Herbert also hit one. Senior P Dave Martin (Arlington, MA) was the recipient of this amazing support, going six innings while allowing three runs for the win.

Before Randolph-Macon scored again in the bottom of the eighth, the Jumbos built a 26-3 lead.
