Saratoga Springs, N.Y. - The Skidmore College baseball team wrapped up its regular season with a doubleheader split with RPI, Sunday afternoon at Castle Diamond.

 
Skidmore took the opener, 14-1 and the Engineers came back to take the nightcap, 12-1.

Rudman (5-1) allowed an unearned run on three hits with two walks and five strikeouts in six innings. He benefited from three double plays.

 

Skidmore senior Zach Brown hit his first collegiate home run on senior day, a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning. Brown finished 1-2 with two RBI and three runs. Matty Tatkow, Rob Rubenstein, Erik Watkins and Jeremy Selecky had two hits each for the Thoroughbreds. Brian Lowry had two RBI with a sacrifice fly and bases loaded walk.

In game two, Mike Campisi (4-3) tossed a complete game, allowing six hits and one run, while striking out five and the Engineers used a five-run third inning to build up a 6-0 lead on their way to a 12-1 win.

 

They added three more runs in the fourth on a three-run homerun from Tanner Boucher, who finished with two hits and four RBI. Kyle LaVigne went 2-4 with four runs scored and Cody Vincent scored three runs.

 

Brown finished 2-3 with two doubles and a run scored and Lowry also went 2-4 with an RBI. Bobby Stafutti (3-2) took the loss, tossing the first 2.1 innings.
