ITHACA, N.Y. – The Cornell baseball came back from two separate multi-run deficits in a wacky Wednesday afternoon game against regional rival Binghamton, defeating the Bearcats in walk-off fashion 10-9 in 10 innings at Hoy Field. With the win, Cornell snapped a five-game losing streak and improved its record to 8-18 while Binghamton fell to 10-21 on the season.

Max Jensen drove in three runs, including the game winning run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 10th inning. Ryan Porter, Wils Guy, and Sam Kaplan contributed multi-hit efforts for the Big Red, with Porter scoring three runs and driving in one, along with two RBI from Guy and a run scored by Kaplan. Ryan Ross was patient at the plate, working three walks while scoring twice and driving in a third. Three Binghamton hitters recorded multi-hit games, including Connor Aoki, who smashed a two-run home run in the top of the eighth.

Binghamton got out to an early lead 5-0 three-and-a-half innings in, taking advantage of numerous walks and a three-error third inning from Cornell. In the bottom of the fourth, the Cornell bats got going, cutting the lead to 5-1 via an RBI single from Wils Guy. The Big Red continued its offensive surge in the fifth, as Cornell scored five runs to take a 6-5 lead. Ryan Porter led off the fifth with a double and two consecutive walks loaded the bases with no outs. Cornell worked two more consecutive walks with the bases loaded to make it 5-3, and did not take its foot off the gas, tying the game on a two-RBI double from Matt Barnhorst. Barnhorst stole third and later scored on a Wils Guy RBI groundout, giving Cornell the lead for the first time in the game.
 
Binghamton did not fold after falling behind, tying the contest in the sixth and taking a 9-6 lead in the eighth on a sac fly by Logan Haskell and the two-run shot from Aoki. Once again, the Big Red needed a rally, and they got it in the bottom of the eighth, scoring three runs to knot the game at 9-9 off a Porter RBI single and a pair of RBI groundouts from Max Jensen and Lachlan Charles. Cornell completed the comeback in extra innings when Jensen was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, handing the Big Red the 10-9 walk-off victory.

Cornell utilized 11 different pitchers in the game, combining for nine strikeouts. Freshman Tom Clancy picked up the win, hist first of his collegiate career. Binghamton's Caden Rothbaum was saddled with the loss, dropping his record to 0-2 on the year.

The Big Red will be back in action this upcoming weekend when it hosts Ivy League rival Dartmouth in a three-game series beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday, April 23 at 11:30 a.m.
