WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Sophomore Frank Hager went 3-for-5 on the day with two doubles and a pair of runs driven in, but the Cornell baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader against Army on Sunday afternoon at West Point, N.Y. Cornell was blanked for the first time this season in the opener, 4-0, and fell by a 5-3 score in game two of the twinbill.

Junior Mickey Brodsky and sophomore Brandon Lee both chipped in a pair of hits for the Big Red on the day, as the Cornell offense could only muster 10 hits in the two games. Taylor Wood took the loss in game one, while Jadd Schmeltzer got the loss in the second game. Cornell slipped to 4-6 on the season with the two losses, while Army improved to 9-8.

Cornell fell behind early in game one, as Kevin McKague hit a three-run home run to left in the first inning to put the Black Knights ahead. Clint Moore singled home a run in the second for a 4-0 Army lead, but Wood settled down from there, allowing just three hits in the final four innings. Cornell's offense, though, couldn't get going, getting just three hits off Army starter Matt Fouch, and only advancing a runner to third base once in second inning.

Game two started off better for the Big Red, as Hager hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning to score Marshall Yanzick on an unearned run, but the Black Knights tied the score in the second on an RBI single by Brandon Hines. Army took the lead in the third on a sacrifice fly by McKague, only to have Hager again tie the score in the fifth on a double down the left field line, scoring Lee.

Army broke the game open with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the fifth, and added another on a sacrifice bunt in the sixth to make the score 5-2. The Big Red got a run back in the sixth, as Mike Lopez reached on an error and scored on Lee's single to right, but Cornell could get no closer as Logan Lee worked the final two innings for the save.

Cornell returns to Central New York and will play a mid-week contest at LeMoyne on Wednesday before opening up Ivy League play at home next weekend. Saturday will feature Cornell taking on Dartmouth in a rematch of last season's Ivy League Championship Series, while Sunday has the Big Red taking on Harvard.
