Tyler Robinson is hitting .563 (9-16) over the first five Dartmouth games. He has driven in three runs to go along with a .813 slugging and a .650 on-base percentage.

Wednesday night's probable starter for Dartmouth is Marco Dumsky. Dumsky has appeared in two games this season for the Big Green, giving up four runs in 2.2 innings.
