Although the Lions have had trouble putting men on base all season, they have had even more difficulties bringing baserunners around to home plate. Late-game clutch hitting has been a weakness for the team all season long, and this past weekend Columbia had no room allow any precious scoring opportunities to slip by.
Although the Lions have had trouble putting men on base all season, they have had even more difficulties bringing baserunners around to home plate. Late-game clutch hitting has been a weakness for the team all season long, and this past weekend Columbia had no room allow any precious scoring opportunities to slip by.
With just a second remaining in the first half and up by one over Dartmouth, it seemed like Columbia might finally be building some positive momentum. The Lions were riding a three-game winning streak coming into the weekend’s Ivy League finale, a streak that included their first conference victory of the year. And against the 16th-ranked Big Green, the Light Blue had overcome another early deficit, taking a 6-5 lead with two minutes left before the break.
