Baseball Drops Home Finale To St. John’s

Lions bested by Red Storm on Tuesday

NEW YORK — Columbia baseball fell to St. John's, 7-5, on Tuesday from Robertson Field at Satow Stadium.

The Red Storm (21-21) scored two runs in the eighth inning to retake a 7-5 lead after Columbia (23-17) had erased a 5-0 deficit. The Lions finish the regular season home schedule with a 10-3 record.

Hayden Schott and Cole Hage each had three-hit games while Weston Eberly and Andy Blake had two hits each. Blake drove in two runs and has been on base in all 40 games this season. Hage and Anton Lazits also drove in a run.

After three scoreless innings, St. John's smacked a pair of two-run home runs off Lions starter Griffin Palfrey to take a 4-0 lead. The Red Storm added a run in the fifth on an RBI single to lead 5-0.

Columbia got on the board in the home fifth after Blake ripped a two-run double off the center field wall to score Hage and John San Jule. Blake then scored on a passed ball to make it 5-3. The Lions stranded runners on second and third to end the inning.

The Lions continued to chip away and scored another run in the sixth inning on Hage's second double of the game. In the home seventh, Columbia got even when Lazits reached on fielder's choice to score Schott. Columbia was unable to come back after St. John's two-run eighth inning.

Columbia had two instances in the game where runs were not counted. Eberly left too early from third base on a Sam Miller fly ball in the fourth inning and instead of scoring the team's first run, he was called out to end the inning. Then in the sixth, Hage was thrown out at third base before Decker could score on a fly ball to end that inning.

Thomas Santana, Camron Hubble, and Derek Yoo all saw action out of the Columbia bullpen. Yoo tossed a scoreless 1.1 innings with three strikeouts.

The Lions wrap up regular season play with a three-game series at Penn on May 13 and 14 at Meiklejohn Stadium - Murphy Field. Columbia needs to win just one of those games to secure a spot in the four-team Ivy League Tournament.
