SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Russell Sage College and Skidmore played to a 10-10 tie this afternoon.

After the Thoroughbreds climbed back into the game with a pair of runs in each of the first two innings, RSC regained some control with three runs in the third. Freshman infielder Andrew Knapp (Nanuet, NY/Nanuet) knocked in all three runs with a two-out double. 

Skidmore (22-8-2) rallied for four runs in the bottom of the eighth to force the deadlock. 

Maxon finished 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI, while Knapp went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI.
