HANOVER, N.H. (Interstat) — Nate Kugler and Mac Burke combined on a two-hit shutout as the Dartmouth Big Green defeated the Columbia Lions 5-0 in an Ivy League baseball game Monday afternoon at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park.

Kugler earned the win, allowing both Columbia hits over five innings with two strikeouts. Burke completed the shutout with four perfect innings of relief, striking out four. Dartmouth’s Chris Miller provided the key offensive blow with a two-run homer to left field in the second inning.

The Big Green added single runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings. Alejandro Puig and A.J. DeMastrie each drove in a run. Columbia starter Evan Kleinhans pitched 3 2/3 hitless innings but did not factor in the decision. Dartmouth improved to 4-13, while Columbia fell to 4-14.
