Cornell earned a shutout win against a team it lost to a year ago.
“Sometimes the big success stories are when you don’t quit and just keep grinding away at the season and get something for yourself at the end,” Head Coach Dan Pepicelli said.
With men on first and second, the home run was a walk-off — Cornell took the game over Penn, 8-7.
Cornell’s offensive outburst earned the Red a win in game two.
After losing a high-octane Saturday doubleheader, the Red won in a defensive battle on Sunday.
The Red dropped five of six games against Ivy foes over the break.
“It was certainly one of the most dominant things I’ve seen in relief in all my time,” Pepicelli said.
By the end of the 6th inning, Cornell was down by two runs but the offense awakened late in the game to put up four runs in the 7th, 8th and 9th innings combined. Relief pitcher junior John Natoli tossed 3 and one-third scoreless to clinch the victory for the Red, earning a win for himself as well.
