Bridgeport, Conn.-The University of Bridgeport baseball team fell in both ends of a non-conference home doubleheader against the Jefferson University Rams on Sunday afternoon in Seaside Park, as the visitors won game one, 7-1, and took the nightcap, 4-2. Bridgeport is now 7-11 overall, and Jefferson ups its season mark to 8-7. The two teams split their four-game weekend series, as the Purple Knights took both games from the Rams on Frday afternoon.
In the opener, junior Jacob Rich (Northwood, N.H.) stayed hot at the plate going 3-for-3 and scoring a run, and freshman Jack Palmer (Guilford, Conn.) had knocked in the Purple Knights' lone run in the fifth inning.
In game two, senior Craig Leonard (Holtsville, N.Y.) and freshman Jeremy Rodrigues (Monroe, Conn.) each had two hits, and Alex Rauso (Grad., Trumbull, Conn.) and freshman Christian Ortiz (Linden, N.J.) each had an RBI.
Up next, the UB baseball team will continue its nine-game homestand and look to get back in the win column on Tuesday afternoon when the Yellow Jackets of American International College come to Seaside Park. First pitch is slated for 3:00 p.m.
