The four-game series at Satow Stadium in New York will take the form of doubleheaders on both Saturday and Sunday, with all contests broadcast on the Ivy League Digital Network. The Big Red, In Brief: In its second season under the guidance of Dan Pepicelli, the Ted Thoren Head Coach of Baseball, Cornell has already matched its win total from last year as it enters this weekend overall and 3-5 in the Ivy League. The Big Red has won four of its last six games despite being decimated by injuries, with four everyday players out of the lineup for at least parts of this stretch. Entering Thursday's games around the country, Cornell was tabbed 104th in the Ratings Percentage Index which is highest among Lou Gehrig Division teams and second overall in the Ivy League (Yale is first at 88th). Breaking Down The Week That Was: Will Simoneit hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to propel Cornell to a 6-4 victory over defending America East champion Binghamton, 6-4, on Wednesday. Cole Rutherford drove in Pierre Le Dorze, who hit double and a triple, for the Big Red's first two runs. Cornell used seven pitchers, issuing no walks for a third time in the last four games. The Big Red watched three leads evaporate in a 7-5 loss to Harvard in last Saturday's opener, but Cornell plated five in the second inning of the night cap and staved off Harvard for a 9-5 win. Peter Lannoo inherited the bases loaded with one out in the eighth, but slammed the door by getting the final five outs. Will Simoneit had three doubles between the two games. Tommy Morris yielded no walks and just four singles in six scoreless innings in last Sunday's opener at Dartmouth, resulting in a 2-0 Cornell victory the team's first shutout since a game against Princeton on April 26, The Big Green then limited the Big Red to two hits in a 5-0 victory to close out the day.

5 About Columbia: The Lions are 8-18 overall, though 7-7 since returning north from a season-opening gantlet of games against quality teams in Gulf Coast states. Columbia is 4-4 in Ivy League play after sweeping doubleheaders against Harvard and Brown, and getting swept in doubleheaders by Dartmouth and Yale. Columbia then lost to Monmouth, 17-12, on Tuesday. As of Thursday, Columbia was tabbed 176th in the Ratings Percentage Index. The offense is batting.253 overall. Randell Kanemaru leads the team in average (.374), runs (19), doubles (seven), home runs (five), RBI (23) and slugging percentage (.615). Chandler Bengtson has four home runs in 58 at-bats. Shane Adams has seven of the team's 24 stolen bases, and Ben Porter has six. The team's pitching staff has a 6.21 ERA and has issued 135 walks in 213 innings. Josh Simpson (LHP, 3-0, 1.82, SHO) has emerged as the team's ace, and Ethan Abrams (RHP, 1-3, 4.66) and Ty Wiest (RHP, 0-2, 3.60) have transitioned to full-time starting roles for the first time in their career. Ryan Marks (LHP, 0-0, 3.00), Leo Pollack (LHP, 0-1, 3.68) and Harrisen Egly (RHP, 1-3, 10.12) are the team's oft-used relievers, each having made nine appearances. Egly has 10 career saves, though Brett Gannaway (RHP, 0-2, 4.34, 2 SV) and Ian Burns (RHP, 0-1, 5.62, SV) account for the team's three saves this year. Series History vs. Columbia: Columbia is the third-most common opponent to the Big Red in program history, with this weekend s four games running the series tally to 239 games. The first meeting between the teams was June 1, 1885, with Cornell securing a 10-4 victory en route to a perfect 12-0 mark for the year. Cornell holds a lead in the all-time series, winning three of four games in last year's games at Hoy Field after Columbia had won nine straight. Last year, Cole Rutherford went 11-for-14 in the series with three doubles, one home run and six RBI en route to Ivy League Player of the Week honors. This is the 25th season of Ivy League baseball and its scheduling format of having divisional opponents play each four times each year. Over that span, only three sweeps have occurred in the Cornell-Columbia series. Spring Break Bonanza: Making use of its Spring Break, Cornell played a couple mid-week games in Maryland earlier this month including a historic thrashing of Towson on April 5. The offensive output set a modern-era program record for runs in a single game, and Trey Baur also set a program record for hits in a single game, going 6-for-7. Will Simoneit and Tommy Wagner both hit grand slams against Towson, the first for the Big Red since Ryan Karl hit one on March 26, Simoneit, Wagner and Baur each had five RBI in the game. Proceed With Caution: Junior Ellis Bitar has once again been named to the Johnny Bench Award watch list season after being the only Ivy League catcher to appear on the 2016 watch list. The award is given annually to the best catcher in Division I, and Bitar proved his wares last year by batting.288 and throwing out 14 prospective base-stealers the most among Ivy catchers. Interestingly enough, Johnny Bench once played at Cornell s Hoy Field as a member of the International League s Buffalo Bisons in an exhibition against the Big Red on May 25, The Route 96 Connection: Two of the Big Red s top hitters are not only typically near each other in the batting order, they re also from the same town about a 90-minute drive northwest of campus. Senior Tommy Wagner and junior Dale Wickham both hail from Victor, near Rochester, where they played for a perennial high school power which captured the Class AA state title in 2014 (Wickham s senior year). Up Next: Cornell returns to Ithaca for a six-game home stand, starting with a non-league doubleheader against Canisius at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 19.
