Red to Face Princeton In One-Game Playoff
April 28, 2009 - 11:00pmThe baseball team will host Princeton tomorrow for the right to face Dartmouth for the Ivy League Championship. The Red (15-21, 10-10 Ivy) split a doubleheader with the Tigers (18-18, 10-10) on Friday and dropped the first game of Monday’s twin bill. Needing a win in Game 2, freshman infielder Frank Hager blasted a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth to put Cornell in front for good. The fact that the Red is even in this position is remarkable considering its 2-11 start.
Loss Ends Mets' Playoff Hopes
September 30, 2007 - 10:53pmNEW YORK (AP) — Tom Glavine put the New York Mets in a huge hole Sunday and they never climbed back out.
The 303-game winner was chased in the first inning, charged with all seven of Florida's early runs. He made a throwing error and hit Marlins lefty Dontrelle Willis with a pitch with the bases loaded, mistakes that symbolized the Mets' September collapse.
Glavine hoped to pitch the Mets into the playoffs on the final day of the regular season. Instead, he managed only one out in the second-shortest start of his brilliant career. New York lost 8-1 and missed the playoffs when Philadelphia beat Washington 6-1 to take the NL East title.
