NEW YORK, NY – The Yeshiva baseball team took leads after the first innings of each game of their Sunday double header against St. Joseph's Brooklyn, but were unable to hold on for the win. They lost game one 9-3 and 15-2 in the second game. The team is still looking for their first win with 3 games remaining on the schedule.

After the top half of the first inning, the Macs held a 3-0 advantage thanks to 3 hits for the team. Binyamin Cooper doubled in the first run, and Adam Volk followed with an RBI single of his own. Volk later scored on an error by the shortstop before the inning ended on a long fly ball.

Benjamin Susswein was on the mound in the opening game for the Macs, and finished his 3 innings with 5 hits, 7 runs, and 4 walks. Yeshiva held their lead for 3 innings, before St. Joseph's scored 3 in the 3rd and 3 more in the fourth. Yeshiva had 7 hits in the game.

Unfortunately, St. Joseph's tied the game in their half of the inning, and went on to score 4 and 3 runs over the next two innings to break the game open. Adam Volk was the losing pitcher for the Maccabees, throwing 2.2 innings and giving up 3 hits, 9 runs, and 8 walks while striking out 1.
