PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.—Senior Tim Noone (Needham, Mass.) struck out 10 batters over 7.1 scoreless innings and juniors Brant Savage (Charlton, Mass.) and Ike Kiely (Falmouth, Maine) had three hits apiece in a 14-hit attack as Babson College rolled past Wooster College, 16-0, Thursday afternoon in its final game of the Snowbird Baseball Classic at Centennial Park Field 10.

With the victory, Babson upped its record to 2-5 on the Florida trip and 3-7 overall while Wooster finished its trip at 2-3 and dropped to 3-4 overall. The Beavers avenged a 15-13 loss to the Fighting Scots on Sunday.

Noone allowed just two hits and a walk through one out in the eighth inning. Senior Anthony St. John (Hopewell, N.J.) came on and retired the last five Wooster batters in a row, including three by strikeout, to preserve the whitewash.

Savage went 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI while Kiely was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI for the Beavers. Junior Tanner Santos (Bethany, Conn.) and first-year Chris Basile (Miami Beach, Fla.) both reached base four times with a single, a double and two walks while each knocked in two, and first-year Ryan Hvozdovic (Hillsborough, N.J.) collected two hits and a walk and drove in one.

Junior Eli Westrick (Ashland, Ore.) had both of Wooster's hits, a leadoff single in the fourth and a two-out knock in the sixth but was stranded on both occasions.

Babson started the onslaught with two runs in the first inning on a bases-loaded walk to Basile and Kiely's sacrifice fly. The Beavers added single runs in the third inning, on an RBI double by Hvozdovic, and sixth inning, on Savage's third home run of the season to left.  

The Green and White blew the game open with 12 runs in the final three innings. After Savage and senior Michael Cook (Whitman, Mass.) delivered RBI singles in the seventh inning, junior Luca Rubin (Los Angeles, Calif.) started the eighth inning rally with an RBI single. Kiely raced home on a wild pitch, and Santos and Hvozdovic produced RBI singles to make it 10-0 through eight innings.

The Beavers tacked on a six-pack in the ninth inning. Kiely hit an RBI single to left, first-year Zander Teator (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) and Santos drew bases-loaded walks, and Savage roped an RBI single to left to highlight the inning.

Babson returns to New England for the scheduled home opener next Wednesday against Nichols at 3:30 p.m. at Govoni Field.
