Late game surge pushes Raptors past Thoroughbreds, 7-5

GREENFIELD, N.Y.—The Skidmore College baseball team couldn't hold off Bard College for the second time in three games, with the Raptors coming out on top 7-5 in Liberty League action Sunday afternoon at Castle Diamond.  The Thoroughbreds (22-7-1, 9-3 Liberty League East, 10-4 Liberty League) have already clinched home field in the Liberty League cross over tournament, but would lose the tiebreaker for the top seed if Bard (13-13, 5-3, 7-7) wins its four remaining Divisional games.
  • Skidmore started strong, taking a 2-0 lead on Pascal Marcktell's two-out single down the leftfield line in the fourth. The Thoroughbreds added one more in the inning on Danny Melilo's single.
  • Justin Posnik retired the first 12 batters he faced before giving up a pair of runs in the fifth to make it 3-2. The Raptors got to Posnik for four more in the seventh to go up 6-3.
  • The Thoroughbreds got two back in the bottom of the seventh on a two-run Brendan O'Neill to cut it to 7-5, but that would be the end of the scoring.
  • O'Neill finished 2-4 with two RBI.
  • Bard kept Thoroughbred slugger Jackson Hornung off the bases for the first time in 37 games, ending his program record of 36 games and his 18-game hit streak.
  • Peter Martin had 2.1 innings of solid relief work. He gave up one run on two hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
  • Skidmore has back-to-back weekday non-league games at Middlebury Tuesday and home against Russell Sage on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
  • The team will close out the regular season at St. Lawrence April 30- May 1.
