Big Green Athletics: Year in Review

By IVAN ZLATAR | June 9, 2008

The baseball team led the way for the Big Green in a successful year for Dartmouth athletics. After posting an impressive 25-17 record and gaining a No.1 ranking in New England, Dartmouth's baseball team was stopped short of the NCAA tournament by a heartbreaking third-game loss to Columbia University in the Ivy League championship in Hanover. Seven players received All-Ivy honors, including co-captain Russell Young '08, who was named Ivy League Pitcher of the Year. Erik Bell '08 was named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District Second Team, while Damon Wright '08 and Nick Santomauro '10 were named to the All-New England First Team.
