Princeton, NJ - The Wagner baseball team suffered an 8-6 defeat at Princeton on Wednesday at Clarke Field.
The Seahawks pieced together 14 walks on the day, but failed to generate hits as they mustered just three in the contest. All six runs scored by the Seahawks were via groundout, sacrifice fly or wild pitch.
A quick start to the game saw Wagner take a 2-0 lead in the top of the second, but the Tigers put together a sixth run in the bottom half of the inning to jump ahead.
Despite being no-hit through six innings, the Green & White tied the game at six in the sixth thanks to a trio of wild pitches.Â
The road team finally broke through in the hit column in the seventh on a single from senior Cole Kumpf, but an ensuing double from senior Ariv Camacho failed to score Kumpf as the relay from center caught the lead runner at home.
A two-run homer in the prior half inning by Princeton proved to be the game-winning runs as Wagner fell to 18-21 on the season.
Five Wagner hitters generated multiple walks in the loss.Â
Sophomore Will Saxenmeyer hurled three, no-hit innings in relief.
Wagner will now shift its focus to conference play where it is currently in a three-way tie for first with Sacred Heart and LIU. It takes on UMES on Friday, with first pitch scheduled for 3:00 pm.
