ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - Nobody would describe Bard College sophomore Adam Carafotes as brash. Confident, maybe.

As he stood next to a member of the Bard Athletics staff last year surveying the construction of Honey Field, Bard's $2.2 million baseball facility, he said matter-of-factly, "I'm going to the hit the first home run here." Then he turned and walked away.

On Wednesday, guess what happened.

Carafotes hit the first home run at Honey Field and led Bard to a sweep of Elmira College, 17-10 and 6-0, in a non-league makeup doubleheader. They were Bard's first two wins of the season.

In the first game, the teams combined for 32 hits and eight errors, leading to the football final of 17-10. The Soaring Eagles (0-4) got up 3-0 in the first, but Bard scored five in the first, one in the second, three each in the third and fourth and five in the fifth to put it out of reach.

JP Fisher went 4-for-6 with two RBI, scored five runs and stole three bases. Alec Montecalvo went 4-for-5 with a double and three RBI; David Schlosser went 3-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Carafotes hit a two-run double.

Zach Hayes (1-1) picked up the win, with relief help from Sam Grumet and Quinn McInerney.

The second game was tighter and more cleanly played. Carafotes drove in Fisher with a double in the bottom of the first, and the Raptors added an unearned run to make it 2-0 after one.

With two out and nobody on in the bottom of the second, Carafotes fulfilled the prophecy and cranked a home run to left field, the ball hitting the brand new Honey Field scoreboard at least halfway up. At the time, that made him 3-for-6 with two doubles, a homer and four RBI ... and he got hit with a pitch his next time up.

A two-run single by Montecalvo (6-for-9, 5 RBI on the day) made it 5-0 in the fourth, and an unearned run made it 6-0.

That was enough for lefty starter Michael Duffy (1-1) and two relievers, who combined for a three-hitter. Duffy, Marotta and Carafotes gave up one hit apiece.

Bard (2-9) will play its first road Liberty League games of the season when they travel to the University of Rochester for a four-game set this weekend. You can follow all four games via Live Stats.
