Baseball Falls to Hartford in Game Two

Score: Hartford 5, UAlbany 1 
 
Location: Varsity Field in Albany, N.Y.
 
Records: UAlbany (20-20, 9-14 AE) | Hartford (7-33, 6-17 AE)
 
Short Story: The University at Albany baseball team dropped the second game of its series with the Hartford Hawks, losing 5-1. The Great Danes' lone run came from Chris Fisher, who hit his first career home run.
 
Head Coach Jon Mueller: "We struggled offensively to get going today, these are the types of games that you just have to tip your cap to the opponent. Blaisdell had our number today, it happens all the time all over the country. We still have a big game tomorrow and a chance to win the series, which was the goal at the beginning of the week."
