Box Score 

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Justin Martin went 5-for-6 with three doubles, three runs scored and six runs batted in, and Matt Rosa yielded just two unearned runs over 5.1 innings of relief to help spur Colby-Sawyer to a 20-9 victory over Norwich in a non-league baseball game Thursday afternoon at Garrity Field.

The Chargers (9-13) scored nine runs over the final three innings to break open what was a close game.

Norwich (0-16-1) was led by Mitch Blair, who went 3-for-3 with two RBIs and one run scored. Aron Sweder and Greg Pawluk each connected with two base hits for the Cadets, with Sweder smashing a triple and Pawluk blasting a double.

Once again, Norwich came right back in the bottom of the frame as the Cadets scored four times to take a7-6 lead after two innings. Sean Stone's two-run triple and Blair's sacrifice fly were the key hits in the four-run inning.
