Baseball Splits Midweek Ivy Homestand

April 9, 2008 - 12:00am
By Allie Perez

Baseball, at times, can be a game of inches. Yesterday afternoon, both the Cornell and Harvard squads inched their way to conference success, as the two teams split a doubleheader at Hoy Field. Both the Red (7-16, 1-7 Ivy) and the Crimson (2-22, 1-7 Ivy) gained their first Ivy win. In both games, only one run separated the winner from the loser.

Cornell got its first win in six games with a 6-5 victory in Game 1. The 2-1 loss, however, for the home team in Game 2 was the Red’s fourth one-run loss in its last six games, going back to the weekend.

“We try not to let the first game affect the second game [in doubleheaders],” said senior second baseman Jimmy Heinz, “but we played flat in the first game. So maybe the excitement of the first game kind of deflated us a little bit.”
