BU baseball loses non-conference game at Cornell 3-1

Box Score

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell broke a 1-1 deadlock with a run in the sixth inning and added an insurance run in the eighth inning to defeat Binghamton baseball 3-1 Wednesday afternoon at David F. Hoy Field.

The Big Red (5-16) used a three-hit rally with two outs in the sixth to forge ahead, and three pitchers limited the Bearcats (9-11) to five hits in the non-conference win.

Freshman pitcher Mike Augliera started and allowed just one hit in three innings - a solo home run in second inning. Augliera struck out two and didn't walk a batter. Freshman Alex Adami (0-1) surrendered the other run in his 2.2 innings of work. Senior Greg Lane pitched 1.1 scoreless innings.

Sophomore center fielder Corey Taylor went 2-for-4 with a run scored. Sophomore catcher Jeff Skelhorne-Gross went 2-for-2 and scored Taylor with an RBI single in the second inning. Skelhorne-Gross is hitting a team-best .400 this spring.

Binghamton will host Canisius in a single game at 1:30 on Thursday.
