VESTAL, N.Y. - Freshmen Evin Sullivan and Nick Roselli combined to drive in all five BU runs and Binghamton (8-19) toppled visiting Cornell (7-15) 5-3 Tuesday night at Bearcats Baseball Stadium. 

With BU ahead 3-1, Sullivan and Roselli drilled back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning. The Bearcats turned three timely double plays and then withstood a late Cornell rally to win for the fourth time in the last six games.

Meanwhile, seven Bearcat pitchers limited the Big Red to seven hits. Binghamton's final pitcher was junior closer Jack Collins, who entered with the bases loaded and the tying run on first in the eighth inning. Collins got a double play and strikeout to squelch the threat. He then fanned two more in the ninth to notch his third save of the season. 

Sullivan (2-for-4, 3 RBI) had a key hit in the third inning as BU opened the scoring with three runs on just two hits. Junior left fielder Cavan Tully reached on a hit-by-pitch (his seventh of the season) to open the frame. He stole second and went to third on a single by freshman center fielder Logan Haskell (2-for-4). After a walk to load the bases, Sullivan ripped a two-run double to right center that scored Tully and Haskell. Roselli (1-for-3, 2 RBI) then drove in the third run with an RBI groundout. Binghamton nearly had two more runs but a deep fly ball to left field by sophomore DH Andrew Tan was pulled back over the short fence by a Cornell outfielder to steal a two-run shot. 

Cornell got one run back in the fifth but BU countered via the long ball in the sixth. Sullivan led off and sent a 3-2 pitch on a line into the bullpen in left for his second home run of the season. Four pitches later, Roselli launched a 2-1 pitch well over the wall in right field for his third home run of the spring and a 5-1 Bearcats cushion. 

The Big Red countered with two runs in the eighth before Collins closed the door. 

Freshman Caden Rothbaum started and worked two scoreless innings with a strikeout. Sophomore Justin Rosner pitched two clean middle innings. Rosner struck out four of the seven batters he faced in the sixth and seventh innings. Freshman Troy Butler (W, 1-1) worked the third inning to gain his first collegiate win as the pitcher of record.  

The freshman continue to make their mark in the BU lineup, as three of the team's top four hitters are all first-year players. After Tully (.333), the top averages belong to Sullivan (.326), Haskell (.306), and Roselli (.302).  

The Bearcats next head to Long Island for a three-game weekend set at Stony Brook.
