ALBANY, N.Y. – The Hartford baseball team was swept in its doubleheader with UAlbany on the road, dropping the opener, 11-7, before falling, 5-4, in the nightcap on Sunday afternoon at Varsity Field.

The Hawks struck first in the opening inning for three runs, behind RBI singles from sophomore Derek Tenney and graduate student Zachary Ardito. Trailing 3-0, the Great Danes plated three runs in the third and a run in the fourth inning to take a 4-3 lead over Hartford.

Trailing 4-3 entering the fifth, Hartford was able to knot the contest at 4-4 behind graduate student Bryce Ramsay's bases-loaded walk. The Hawks took a 5-4 lead after senior John Thrasher scored from third on a passed ball. Hartford pushed its lead to 6-4 in the sixth inning, behind redshirt junior Tim Dickson's RBI triple.

Trailing 5-2 entering the ninth, Cobb Jr. drew a bases-loaded walk to trim the deficit to 5-3. Thrasher immediately followed with an RBI single to left to cut the deficit to a run. However, the Hawks stranded two in the inning, eventually falling, 5-4.
