WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - A pair of stellar pitching performances led
the Bowdoin College baseball team to a sweep of Wentworth on

cruised to a 6-0 victory in game two.

Garner. Adam Marquit had three hits including two doubles while

Pat Driscoll was outstanding on the mound in the second game,
tossing seven innings of shutout ball, allowing just two hits while

triple.
