We finally got back on the diamond! Taking on Princeton on their b-e-a-utiful campus for a 9 inning bout. What a game it was, a 9 inning scheduled game turned into a 13 inning 5-4 dramatic win for YCP!
Josh Brown was on the bump mowing down 8 hitters letting up only one run in 4 innings of work. The bats were asleep for most of the game as we went down one in the third inning. Princeton kept YCP's offense in check with their change of pace pitching. Getting a big run in the 6th inning from Brian Serviss YCP tied it up heading into the last innings. Princeton answered with a three spot on the board putting them up 4-1 going into the 7th. YCP eventually answered with our own three spot tying it up 4-4 heading to the 9th. With solid outings in the late innings from Dan Jones and Andrew Aquilia YCP held Princeton to a big goose egg for the 4 extra innings! A rally in the top of the 13th with a series of walks gave YCP the lead into the 13th. Robbie Engel no stranger to pressure came in the last two innings getting out of bases loaded jams in the 12th and 13th to pick up his first win of the season!
A great win against a DI Ivy league school. Chalk it up boys! YCP Club Baseball Green Team is now 1-1-1 on the year.
