WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. - The historic 2013 baseball season ended on Friday for Bard College - historic because the varsity program had been dormant for 76 years.

Bard split a doubleheader with The City College of New York - the Raptors' fifth straight split doubleheader - after losing 13 out of 14 in the middle of the season. The 5-5 end to the season was a point of pride for a team that went through some serious growing pains along the way.

CCNY (5-29) won the first game, 5-3, behind a homer, triple and three RBI from junior captain Mike Smith (Washingtonville, NY). Bard had eight hits but struggled on the basepaths, allowing some opportunities to slip away. Ryan Conklin went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI, and Tom Danz drove in Bard's third run with a sacrifice fly.

The second game was all about Bard senior Adam Flowers. He threw a complete game seven-hitter, striking out eight, and went 2-for-4 with two RBI as the Raptors won, 5-1.

Flowers singled and scored, and Danz brought in another run with an RBI single to make it 2-0 after one inning. In the second, senior Steve Kovalcik singled and went to third on a double by senior Nolan Reece. One out later, Flowers drove them both home with a single to center to make it 4-0.

CCNY got one back in the third, but Kovalcik made it 5-1 in the sixth with an RBI single. The Beavers never really got a good handle on Flowers, who struck out eight and walked two over seven innings.

Flowers finished the season with the team's top batting average (.369) and ERA (3.46).

Flowers, Reece, Kovalcik and Andres Medina played their final games for Bard. They were honored before the second game as pioneers for the baseball program.
