Baseball Drops Doubleheader at Penn; Clinches Birth In Ivy League Tournament

Lions will be the No. 4 seed next weekend

PHILADELPHIA — Columbia baseball fell 8-3 in game one before dropping game two, 8-7, on a walk-off to Penn from Tommy Lasorda Field at Meiklejohn Stadium.

Following Saturday's results around the Ivy League, Columbia (23-19, 11-9) clinched the fourth spot in the four-team tournament. Penn, Princeton, and Harvard already clinched. Princeton will be the No. 3 seed and the host site is still to be determined between Penn and Harvard with one game to play. The Ivy League Tournament begins Friday.
 

Andy Blake set the program's single season record with his 72nd hit of the year in the fourth inning of game two on Saturday, surpassing Nick Cox and Garrett Neubart. Blake finished 4-for-7 on the day and extended his on-base streak to all 42 games this season.
 
Columbia wraps up the regular season with the series finale at Penn on Sunday at 12 p.m.

Game 1 Recap:

Penn jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning after back-to-back home runs from Ben Miller and Wyatt Henseler. 

Columbia took a run back the next half inning on a Jack Kail RBI single to make it 2-1 in the second. Earlier in the inning, Hayden Schott was thrown out at home trying to score on a Palfrey double.

Following a leadoff walk to Weston Eberly, Schott launched one over the center field wall to give the Lions a 3-2 lead with his 11th home run of the season.

In the fifth inning, Penn capitalized on a fielding error with two outs to tie the game at 3-3. Lions starting pitcher Andy Leon was able to escape the inning when he got the next batter to ground out. 

Leon went 5.2 innings, allowing 10 hits and five earned runs. The sophomore recorded four strikeouts and was tagged with his third loss of the season.

Penn scratched three runs across in the sixth inning to take a 6-3 lead. After a leadoff single, Jarrett Pokrovsky homered to make it 5-3. Later in the inning, the Quakers scored on an RBI triple. The Quakers added two more runs of insurance in the eighth. 

Game 2 Recap:

Trailing 7-3 going into the bottom of the ninth, Penn rallied to score five runs and win on a walk-off single. The Quakers tallied six hits in the inning to complete the come-from-behind win.

The Lions got on the board first with two runs before Penn came to bat. Schott singled in Blake and then Kail walked with the bases loaded two batters later to take a 2-0 lead. 

Blake launched his 11th home run in the second inning to give Columbia a 3-0 advantage. Penn answered in the bottom half with its first run of the game on an RBI single.

In the third inning, Eberly led off with a double down the line. Griffin Palfrey then gave the Lions a 5-1 lead with a two-run home run. Penn starter Cole Zaffiro was chased in the inning after surrendering five runs on five hits.

Penn made it a 5-3 game in the home fourth on a Cole Palis two-run home run. Columbia added a run the next half inning on a Blake sacrifice fly that scored Kail.

Lions starting pitcher Joe Sheets threw six innings, allowing six hits and three runs while striking out three.
