ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - The Bard College baseball team lost to Elmira College, 7-4, in a non-league game on Wednesday afternoon.

Elmira cut the deficit to 3-2 with a pair of runs on three hits in the fifth, but Bard made it 4-2 on a triple by Robert Arciola and an RBI groundout by Julian Gonzalez in the bottom of the fifth. The Raptors (12-17) were held without a hit from there, while Elmira rallied to take the lead with two runs in the sixth, two in the seventh and one in the eighth.

Jansen Crossley (Vancouver, BC) and Jourdan Plaisted (Walworth, NY) each went 2-for-5 with a double for the Soaring Eagles (4-22). 

Arciola went 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored for Bard. Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
