Baseball Clinches Ivy Tournament Berth With 4-3 Win Over Cornell

ITHACA, N.Y. – The University of Pennsylvania baseball team qualified for the 2023 Ivy League Tournament with a 4-3 win over Cornell in the rubber game of their conference series Saturday afternoon.
 
Quaker Notemeal 
  • Wyatt Henseler went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI, giving him multi-hit outings in all three games in the series.
  • Penn starter Ryan Dromboski struck out seven batters in four innings of work, his eighth outing with at least seven strikeouts this season. He currently ranks second in the conference with 76.
  • Eli Trop struck out three batters in an inning of work, giving him 20 in just 10.2 innings of work this year. He's also tossed 8.2 consecutive scoreless innings over his last nine outings.
  • Carson Ozmer threw a scoreless inning of relief for the Red and Blue. Since allowing three runs in his first outing of the year, he's allowed just three runs in 21.1 innings, a (1.27 ERA) while striking out 23 and walking just three.
How it Happened
 
Henseler once again provided the power early in the game, crushing a 2-run shot to left-center in the first. The home run was his 14th of the season, tying his own program record set last season.
 
 
The Big Red bats got to Dromboski in the bottom of the inning, knotting the game at two.
 
Ryan Taylor got things going for the Quakers in the top of the 2nd with a one-out double, then advancing to third on an errant pick-off attempt. Asa Wilson drove in Taylor with a groundout, re-giving Penn the lead.
 

Dromboski found himself in more trouble in the bottom of the third inning, as Cornell loaded the bases with nobody out, but the sophomore right-hander limited the damage to a single run.
 
The teams traded zeroes across the next five innings, with Tommy Delany, Edward Sarti, and Trop combining for eight strikeouts in four innings of relief, yielding just a single hit and two walks. Cornell loaded the bases with nobody out against Trop in the eighth, but the fireballer came back with three straight strikeouts to keep the game tied, igniting a fiery reaction from the Penn dugout.
 

In the Penn ninth, Cole Palis got things started with a single into left field. Pinch-runner Calvin Brown then advanced to second on an Appel sacrifice bunt. With two outs in the inning, Henseler ripped a single into left field, bringing home Brown, just beating the throw to the plate.
 

As he did yesterday, Coach John Yurkow turned to Ozmer for the save, and the Texas native punched out two hitters in a scoreless 9th, earning his 5th save of the season for the Quakers.

Up Next
The Quakers will be back on the diamond on Wednesday, May 10 against Delaware at Tommy Lasorda Field at Meiklejohn Stadium.
