Bianco did not have a triple in his career prior to tallying one on Friday and Sunday.
- Ben Metzinger came up just a single shy of the cycle in Sunday's win over Dartmouth, going 3-for-5 with a double, triple, his second home run of the season and a career-best five RBIs. Metzinger has reached base in all seven games this season, tallying a hit in six.
