This weekend, the baseball team defeated Columbia, the team sitting atop the Gehrig Division. Unfortunately for the last-place Red (11-22, 5-11 Ivy), this 11-7 victory was sandwiched between a doubleheader sweep on Saturday and a series finale defeat yesterday.
Although junior Nathan Ford was an amazing 12-for-17 on the weekend with two runs scored and four RBIs — increasing his team-high batting average to .432 — the Red lost three of four games to Columbia. The losses eliminated the Red from playoff contention.
