ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – The Bard College baseball team had a slow start, and New Paltz captured the win on Wednesday afternoon, 1-11.
 
Bard collected two hits and three walks total. Micah Liu and Charlie Beauregard had hits, with Beauregard adding an RBI. Graham Williams, Liu, Jack Burcell, Graham Marshall, and Cal Anna all reached base, with Williams stealing a base.

Beauregard picked up an RBI on a fielder's choice. New Paltz had its 11th run in the sixth inning, and the pitching held off Bard for the final two innings to preserve the win.
