Dartmouth (11-22, 7-9 Ivy) lost the first of Saturday's games to the Bulldogs (16-22, 4-12 Ivy) when Yale's Allie Canulli crossed the plate on a wild pitch to take a 10-9 lead in the top of the seventh inning. In the nightcap, the Big Green was shut out 6-0 by Yale's Rebecca Wojciak, who allowed only five hits in seven innings of play. The Big Green saw better outcomes on Sunday, when solid performances earned the team a 5-3 victory in the opener and a 5-2 win in the second game of the doubleheader. After the weekend series, Dartmouth sits four games behind top-seeded Harvard (21-18, 12-4 Ivy) in the North Division of the Ivy League, while Yale sits in third place, seven games behind the Crimson and three games behind the Big Green. Dartmouth jumped out to an early lead in game one of Saturday's doubleheader, scoring three runs off of three hits by Christy Autin '10, Katie Chifcian '09 and Audrey Kolodziej '11 in the bottom of the first inning. After tagging another run on the board in the second inning, the Bulldogs threatened Dartmouth with three runs in the third inning, one on a wild pitch and the other on an error by Autin at shortstop. Dartmouth answered with two runs in the bottom of the third inning and another in the fourth, taking a 7-3 lead heading into the fifth. But Yale retaliated with a six-run rally in the next inning, accumulating seven hits while batting around to take a 9-7 lead.
