New York University's baseball team fell twice to Case Western Reserve University in a University Athletic Association (UAA) twin bill on Sunday at Maimonides Park in Brooklyn, NY.

The Violets lost game one 11-6 and game two 11-4, dropping to 12-15 and 5-10 in the Association.

NYU led 2-0 after three full innings in game one, scoring in the second on a Spartan error and adding another in the third on an RBI single from Richard Beggy.

CWRU tied the score 2-2 with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth before a scoreless fifth inning. Both teams tacked on two runs apiece in the sixth with NYU's coming via a two-out, pinch hit single off the bat of Joe Cetale for a pair of RBIs.

However, seven CWRU runs across the seventh and eighth innings gave the visitors control, despite the Violets scoring twice in the second after RBI singles from Beggy and Cam Dunn.

Beggy went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a run while Dunn and Nate Pallotta added two hits each.

NYU starting pitcher John Gassler tied the program's single-game strikeouts record with 12 across six full innings while allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and just one walk. Mason Clark tossed a scoreless inning of relief.

Game two was tied 2-2 after two full, but the Spartans broke it open with eight runs in the top of the third. Beggy later launched a two-run homer over the left field wall to bring NYU within 9-4 in the bottom of the sixth, but those were the Violets' last runs of the day.

Beggy and Dunn each had two more hits in the series finale while Sean Bolin, Joseph Augustine and Jason Pearson all had scoreless pitching appearances out of the bullpen.

The Violets return to action on Friday, April 21, at SUNY New Paltz in New Paltz, NY.
