Game 1 (Box Score)
Princeton fell 7-2 in the opener as Columbia scored all seven runs over the third and fourth innings. Princeton went ahead 2-0 in the top of the third inning.
Brandon Englert led off the inning with a double and scored on an Andrew Whitener single. Whitener went to third when Nate Baird reached on an error and scored on a sac fly from Noel Gonzales-Luna.
Columbia broke through in its next at-bat, scoring when Dean Forthun drove in the two runs with a single as the Lions scored all three runs with two outs in the inning and all three were unearned. An inning later, Columbia's leadoff batter walked and the Lions then hit three-straight home runs to build the lead to 7-2.
Dan Barnes went six innings in the loss, allowing four earned runs on six hits.
Game 2 (Box Score)
Princeton again built an early lead in Game 2, stretching the margin to 3-0 before Columbia rallied. Sam Mulroy drove in all three Tiger runs. In the top of the first, Gonzales-Luna reached on an error and came around to score when Mulroy hit his fifth home run of the season. Two innings later, Mulroy drove in Tom Boggiano for Princeton's third run with a sac fly.
Columbia got two runs back in the fourth inning when consecutive doubles plated runs, and the Lions made the lead 5-3 an inning later. The Lions added a sixth run in the sixth inning to make the lead 6-3, which is where it finished.
David Palms took the loss, allowing six runs, three earned, on seven hits in 5.1 innings. Kevin Link pitched 2.2 scoreless innings of relief.
