Last Time Out
Princeton's bats got hot in the second matchup against the VCU Rams. Princeton notched 11 runs on 14 hits with five batters having multi-hit games. The scoring output was the Tigers largest of the season and highest since defeating No. 1 seed Columbia in the Ivy League Tournament.

Downed the Demon Deacons
Princeton went into the Sunday matchup against Wake Forest 0-7 on the year. When the teams met just two days prior, the Demon Deacons squeaked by thanks to two unearned runs. Liam Kinneen got the start and tossed 5.2 innings of work and allowed three runs on five hits. A big fourth inning would be just what the Tigers needed to collect its first win of 2025. Seven runs on five hits came in for Princeton before Jacob Faulkner closed it out for a 7-6 final.

Getting On Base
Jake Bold has reached base in eight consecutive games, and has done so in 10 of the team's 11 matchups this season. The junior leads the team with three multi-hit games and is currently on a five-game hitting streak.

Firepower From Faulkner
Jacob Faulkner returns to the lineup for the Tigers after collecting unanimous First-Team All-Ivy honors in 2024.

After putting together a career year on the mound, Faulkner was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Stopper of the Year Preseason Watch List. The senior notched eight victories, four saves and a 3.14 ERA in 20 appearances with 52 punchouts in 66 innings pitched. Faulkner got the save in the win against Wake Forest and is now five shy of the program record and has maintained his streak of eight straight wins.

Koonin Is Cooking
In the season opener against Miami, Jake Koonin knocked a base hit to break the program's record for longest hit streak for 22 consecutive games. An All-Ivy second teamer last season, Koonin owned the highest batting average on the team in 2024 at .319 and started in all 44 games for Princeton. Koonin racked up 22 doubles and four home runs.

Jakes At The Plate
Jake Bold and Jake Kernodle helped add some power on offense for the Tigers just a season ago. The pair combined for 84 hits, 10 doubles, four triples, and eight homers. Bold owned a .295 average while Kernodle sat at .286, good for second and fourth respectively at the conclusion of the 2024 season. Bold knocked the first Princeton homerun in the second game against Miami and ended the weekend with a .250 average, three RBI and a .500 slugging percentage.

Oh Captains Our Captains
Andrew D'Alessio, Jacob Faulkner, and Caden Shapiro will serve as the captains of the 2025 squad.

Preseason Poll
The Tigers were voted No. 4 in the Ivy League preseason poll with 80 points.

Last year's regular-season champion, Columbia, was unanimously voted the preseason favorite with 128 points and all 16 first-place votes.

New Kids At Clarke
The Tigers welcomed seven new members to the roster as part of the Class of 2028. Isaac Lamson, James Beasley, Nick Shenefelt, Joseph Zorc, Grant Werdesheim, Liam Kinneen and Will Robbins will add depth to the Princeton roster as three infielders, two pitchers and two utility players.

Tigers On The Road
The squad is set for tons of travel this season with 34 contests coming on the road. The Tigers will travel to Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and throughout New Jersey.
