Baseball Falls Short to Yale in Series Finale

Miller has three-home run game; Lions drop their first Ivy series

NEW YORK — Columbia baseball went back-and-forth with Yale in Sunday's rubber match from Robertson Field at Satow Stadium, but fell to the Bulldogs, 13-10.

Sam Miller recorded the first three-home run game of his career and drove in a career-high six RBIs. Columbia (15-14, 9-3) sits one game ahead of Cornell for first place in the Ivy League, while Yale moves to 11-17 (6-6).

Columbia took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly from Jack Cooper. It was his Ivy League-leading 42nd RBI of the year.

Yale exploded with a five-run third inning to go in front 5-1. Max Imhoff started the Bulldogs off with a solo home run, followed by a two-run single and a two-run double off Lions starter Thomas Santana.

Columbia chipped into the lead with a Miller three-run home run in the fourth inning. The Lions added three more the next inning on a Griffin Palfrey three-run home run to re-take the lead, 7-6.
 
Yale then posted its second five-run inning of the game in the sixth inning. The frame was capped by a two-run triple and a two-run double.

Miller's second home run of the game brought Yale's lead to 11-9. But Yale tacked on another run in the seventh due to a Columbia error.
 
Miller blasted his third home run of the day in the eighth to make it a two-run game again at 12-10. The Lions would threaten with two runners in scoring position, but Skye Selinsky struck out to end the inning.
 
Yale added a run in the ninth and then worked around a base runner in the home half to close out the game and win the series.

Columbia hits the road on Tuesday for a midweek matchup at St. John's. First pitch from Keiser Stadium is scheduled for 6 p.m.
