Clarkson Baseball Season Closes In Sweep at Skidmore

Saratoga Springs, NY – A tough first inning in the opener put the Clarkson University Baseball team on its heels for Saturday's doubleheader against Skidmore College, and the Golden Knights dropped the first game 23-1 and game two 6-5 in extras on a walk-off as the Green and Gold's season came to an end.

The Golden Knights fell to 11-23 on the year and dropped to 9-11 in conference games. Skidmore exacted some revenge against Clarkson after getting swept out of the conference crossover a year ago, moving to 24-14 and 13-5.

During game one, Skidmore plated nine in the first inning, putting Clarkson in an early hole from which it could not recover. Max Mello had a two-run single, Trey Bourque hit a three-run homer, Danny Melillo added a two-run double, and Jackson Hornung delivered a two-run homer to center for the nine runs. Clarkson picked up one in the second on an RBI single from Aidan Kuefner to score Cam Jerrett, but that was all the Knights would get despite 10 hits in the game, and Skidmore kept tacking on as Clarkson prepared to battle in game two.

The second contest was closer, though Skidmore did score two in its first at bat. Max Mello plated a pair with a single, but Clarkson responded with two in the top of the second when Robert Whalen blasted a two-run homer, his third of the year, driving in James Mason to tie the contest at 2-2. Skidmore picked up a run in the bottom of the fifth when Trey Bourque blasted a solo home run.

Down 3-2 in the top of the seventh, Clarkson scored three to take the lead. Caleb Doyle scored on a fielder's choice to tie the game, and Robert Whalen was again the man in the big spot, driving in both Jake Millich and Colby Brouillette with a double to center. However, the Knights could not keep the Thoroughbreds off the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning. Anthony Peterson plated the first run with a sacrifice fly, and Brendan O'Neill's single to right tied the game 5-5. In the bottom of the eighth, Ewen Donald singled home Jackson Hornung for the game-winning run.

Nicholas Hofacker took the loss in game two, striking out four and allowing three earned runs in 7.2 innings of work, while Christian Giresi gained the win in relief for Skidmore. Whalen finished the game 2-for-4 with four RBI.
