A couple of big innings for Dartmouth lifted the Big Green to a doubleheader sweep of Princeton Saturday in Hanover, 8-6 and 12-4 in five innings.

Sunday's single game is set for a 12:30 p.m. start in the season finale for both teams. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ and live stats are available here.

In the first game, Princeton used a Kaylee Grant walk and a Keeley Walsh double to get on the board in the top of the first, and the Tigers made it 4-0 in the fifth when hits from Megan Donahey, Allison Harvey, Mackenzie Meyer and Walsh added up to three runs. Harvey and Meyer each had RBI doubles and Walsh had a run-scoring single.

Dartmouth got one back in the bottom half of the fifth on a McKenna Gray homer to make it 4-1, but a seven-run sixth inning flipped the game the Big Green's way. Four hits and three walks gave Dartmouth the runs, with two-run singles from Calista Almer, Morgan Ebow and Micah Schroder as the big hits.

Princeton got two runs back in the seventh to make it 8-6, with a Donahey hit, a walk to Grant and an error helping Princeton trim the deficit. Donahey and Walsh had three hits each in the first game with Walsh driving in two of the runs.

Princeton got to within 7-4 with two in the fifth, thanks to a Meyer double, a Walsh walk and RBI hits from Harvey and Kaitlyn Waslawski, but Dartmouth answered that with a five-run fifth to end it early.
