PRINCETON, N.J. - The Princeton baseball team takes on the St. John's Red Storm in a non-conference midweek contest on Wednesday at Jack Kaiser Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. The Tigers split its last Ivy League weekend with two wins over Brown and two losses against Yale.
THE WEEK THAT WAS
- The Monmouth Hawks ended Princeton's five-game winning streak with a 7-3 victory on last Wednesday at Clarke Field.
- Less than one week after Princeton posted dramatic home sweeps against both Dartmouth and Harvard, the Tigers suffered their first two losses of the Ivy season during a road doubleheader in New Haven, Conn against Yale on Saturday. One big inning for the Bulldogs in both games (6-3, 6-1) were enough to lead Yale to a 4-2 league mark in the Rolfe Division, while the Tigers fell to 4-2 in the Gehrig Division.
- Game 1 was a thriller. Game 2 was a record breaker. Both were Princeton victories vs. Brown on Sunday.
- One game after fighting out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the seventh inning for an 11-9 victory, Princeton scored 25 runs to complete a Sunday sweep of Brown and remain in first place in the Gehrig Division entering divisional play.
- The Tigers broke a program record with 36 runs in a doubleheader. Zack Belski helped power Princeton in the nightcap with a Princeton-record eight RBIs, topping a record that has stood for 84 years and been shared by six Princeton players.
- The 25 runs are the most Princeton has scored in a game since May 7, 1992 (Monmouth), and the second-most in program history; on March 29, 1974, Princeton scored 29 in a win over Ursinus.
ON A ROLL
- Over the weekend, Belski had 12 RBI and four extra base hits. He had seven hits in 16 at-bats and also scored three times.
- Senior Danny Hoy touched home eight times in four Ivy League games, ripped off eight base hits and stole two bases.
- Junior Danny Baer had a team-best five extra base hits against Yale and Brown, finishing with a 1.222 slugging percentage.
- Princeton got home runs from Belski, Hoy, junior Nick Hernandez and senior Billy Arendt in the team's 2-2 weekend against Yale and Brown.
ON THE HILL
- Every starter that has made at least four starts has an ERA of 3.79 or lower.
- Senior Chris Bodurian leads the team with 2.92 ERA in 12 1/3 innings.
- The Tigers' pitchign staff has thrown five complete games.
- Senior Luke Strieber lead the team with 22 strikeouts.
- Seven different Tigers have at least 10 strikeouts
BATTING AROUND
- Jesper Horsted leads the team with a .316 batting average, but does not have enough at-bats to qualify for the Ivy League leaders.
- Hernandez is right outside the top ten in the Ivy League in average (.314) and has the most hits on the team with 32 and is tied the for the team-best in RBI (20).
- Belski and Hernandez are one RBI shy of the top of the Ivy League.
- Hoy and Belski have a team-high three home runs each.
