Baseball Defeats Brown Twice on Sunday to Sweep Series

Lions outscore Bears 40-12 over three games; sweep third Ivy series of the season

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Columbia baseball finished off a sweep of Brown with a 19-7 win in game one followed by a 6-1 victory in game two in Sunday's doubleheader at Attanasio Family Field.

Columbia (19-14, 12-3) has won four straight games and holds a two-game lead on Cornell for first place in the Ivy League standings. All nine Columbia starters recorded a hit in each game of this weekend's series. The Lions play at Seton Hall on Wednesday with first pitch set for 4 p.m.

Game 1 Recap

The Lions got on the board in the opening inning on a Skye Selinsky RBI groundout. Columbia threatened further but left the bases loaded in the top of the first and settled for just the one run.

Selinsky blasted his seventh home run of the year in his second at-bat of the day to boost Columbia's lead to 4-0 in the second inning. In his next at-bat an inning later, Selinsky went deep again to give the Lions an 8-0 advantage and recorded his sixth RBI of the game. 

A Griffin Palfrey RBI double in the fifth expanded Columbia's lead to 9-2. Brown (8-24, 3-12) clawed back into the game, posting a four spot in the home fifth and chasing starter Joe Sheets out of the game. Sheets' final line was 4-plus innings, seven hits, six runs (five earned), three walks, and two strikeouts.

Selinsky's hot day at the plate continued when he drove in his seventh run on a single in the sixth inning as part of a five-run frame for the Lions. Columbia opened a 14-6 lead. The seven RBIs were a career-high for Selinsky.

Palfrey then cracked a grand slam in the seventh inning to build out a 19-6 lead. It was his second home run of the season.

Cole Hage scored five runs in the first game, tying a program single-game record. The senior also tallied four hits and four RBIs in the win.

Game 2 Recap 

Hage wasted no time in the series finale, leading off with his 10th home run of the year. He extended his hitting streak to 13 games and on-base streak to 31 games.

Owen Estabrook and Palfrey each hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to make it 3-0 Lions. Later in the inning, Jack Kail and Anton Lazits drove in runs to push the lead to 6-0.

Starter Thomas Santana earned the win following six scoreless innings on the mound. He allowed four hits and struck out five. JD Ogden and Palfrey finished off the game out of the bullpen.
