PRINCETON – The Princeton Baseball Team welcomes the Wagner Seahawks to Clarke Field on Wednesday with a new start time at 3:30 p.m.
The Tigers are 12-21 overall and 8-7 in the Ivy League. They have collected victories over UNC Wilmington, Navy, Old Dominion, VCU, Cornell, Yale, Brown, Harvard and Penn.
Jake Koonin leads the team in hitting (.294), RBI (31), slugging percentage (.504), and stole bases (seven) with Jake Bold (.289) and Nick DiPietrantonio (.289) right behind Koonin in batting average. DiPietrantonio was 8-for-12 against Penn, adding six RBI. Bold's 27 walks and .428 on-base percentage paces the squad while six different players have at least three home runs.
Jacob Faulkner was selected as the Ivy League Pitcher of the Week yesterday. The junior was the winning pitcher in both Tigers' victories over the Penn Quakers.
Faulkner corralled three strikeouts in three relief frames, allowing just one hit on Saturday. He started game three on Sunday (one day later), going six innings for the Tigers, giving up two hits. He struck out five hitters and faced just three batters over the minimum.
He's 6-1 this season in 16 appearances with a 3.11 ERA in 46 1/3 innings. Andrew D'Alessio closed out the game three win over Penn with just one earned run in three frames. He's got a 4.15 ERA in 30 1/3 innings.
Justin Kim (4.66 ERA) and Sean Episcope (7.03 ERA) have gone at least six innings in each of their last four starts. Episcope's 36 strikeouts in 32 innings are second on the team behind Faulkner's 37.
The Tigers are now third in the Ivy standings, trailing Columbia (12-3) and Cornell (10-5). Penn and Yale are one game back while Dartmouth and Harvard are 6-8.
Wagner is 18-20 this season and 15-6 in the NEC. The Seahawks have wins over Delaware State, Saint Peters', Coppin State, Iona, Central Connecticut State, Merrimack, Norfolk State, Iona, Stonehill and Le Moyne. Diego Tavarez (.353) and Zack Kent (.343) are the best hitters for Wagner while Ryan Bilka has a 3.19 ERA in 42 1/3 frames.
