Game 1 (Box Score)

The Tigers added single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Baird hit a solo home run in the fifth inning, Mulroy scored on a Berkowitz single in the sixth and Mulroy doubled home Baird in the seventh.
Kevin Carlow earned the complete game win, while four Tigers pitched in the loss.
Game 2 (Box Score)
The nightcap was a back-and-forth contest, in which both teams rallied from four-run deficits, that Brown took with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Princeton scored 12 runs on 19 hits in the game. Mulroy led all Tigers with four hits, while Noel Gonzales-Luna and Mishu both added two hits. Mulroy put Princeton on the board in the top of the first with a two-run homer, but Brown put five runs on the board in the bottom of the first to take the lead.
Princeton added single runs in the second on a Gonzales-Luna RBI-single and in the third on a Mishu solo homer to cut the gap to one run, before Brown added another three runs in the third to lead 8-4.
Princeton erased that lead and built a four-run lead of its own in the fifth inning with an eight-run inning. Jon Broscious hit a two-run homer in the inning. Additional runs scored on a Gonzales-Luna single, a Mulroy double, a Berkowitz single and a Broscious double.
With Princeton ahead 12-8, Brown began to chip away at the Tiger lead. Brown trimmed it to one run with three runs in the seventh inning and entered the ninth trailing by a single run. In the ninth, a leadoff single by Graham Tyler and a double from Mike DiBiase evened the game. Princeton was able to get two outs in the inning, but a Josh Feit single to right field plated DiBiase and gave Brown the win.
Kevin Link, who pitched five and a third innings in relief took the loss for Princeton. He was one of three Tiger pitchers. Brown used six pitcher in the win.

Princeton fell to 7-18 overall and 2-4 in the Ivy League following the sweep. The Tigers will look to get back on track Sunday afternoon with a doubleheader at Yale.
