Baseball squeaks by Vermont in the eighth to win 13-10

Chris Parker / The Dartmouth Staff A clutch pinch-hit single off the bat of Brett Gardner '10 gave the Dartmouth baseball team a winning boost in its 13-10 victory over the University of Vermont on Tuesday in Burlington, Vt. Down two strikes in the eighth inning with men on first and second, Gardner helped Dartmouth (20-11, 14-2 Ivy) take an 11-10 lead from which UVM (10-22, 3-5 America East) would not recover. Dartmouth entered the eighth inning trailing Vermont 10-9, and then tied the game at 10 off of singles from Jake Carlson '12 and Ray Allen '09. After leading for most of the game, the Big Green was forced to manufacture a comeback after pitcher Max Langford '12 gave up four runs in the seventh inning.

Ledyard hosts kayak festival in honor of DOC centennial

Geoff Holman / The Dartmouth Those who aren't familiar with the Ledyard clubhouse might imagine it as just a great place to take a date, rent a canoe, float slowly and undisturbed out on the water, and soak in the sun as you work on your tan. Now imagine sitting in a piece of plastic, being tossed around in ice-cold, churning whitewater, and trying to stay ahead of 29 other maniacal rowers splashing angrily on your trail as you float uncontrollably towards a nine-foot waterfall where nothing more than a few feet of water separates you and your one-man boat from a rocky riverbed below. This weekend, the 89-year-old organization and Dartmouth Outing Club affiliate hosted the first annual Ledyard River Festival, which stands to become one of the premiere paddling event in the Northeast. While Ledyard has historically been involved with promoting the region's paddling culture, no comparable event had ever been held in the Northeast, although such events take place frequently and annually in other parts of the country. "Ledyard is a club that supports the paddling community at Dartmouth -- so whitewater and flatwater kayaking and canoeing," Alice Bradley '11 said.

Dartmouth (19-11, 14-2 Ivy) scored in the double digits in its three victories, while the Bulldogs (12-20, 6-10 Ivy) earned their only win in the first game of the four-game series, a 4-1 pitchers' duel on Saturday. The Big Green bats quickly warmed up to beat Yale 12-9, 13-2 and 17-8 in the next three games of the weekend. "It's always nice to take three games from an opponent like Yale," captain Jack Monahan '09 said.
