VESTAL, N.Y. - Winners of five in a row and 13 of their last 16, Binghamton baseball (17-10) hosts Cornell (4-18) in a non-conference game Tuesday. The teams play the first of three games against one another at 6:30 p.m. at the Bearcats Baseball Complex. 

Over the weekend, BU swept a three-game set from former America East opponent Hartford. BU won 10-3, 2-1 and 11-0 and the wins extended the team's win streak to five. Saturday's opener was noteworthy in that it marked the return of all-conference catcher Evin Sullivan, who missed the first seven weeks of the season with an injury. Sullivan celebrated his return to health with an RBI single in his first at-bat of 2023. In Game 2, second baseman Nick Roselli went 3-for-3 with four RBI, raising his season average to .330 and bumping his team-high RBI count to 27 in 27 games. Outfielder Tommy Reifler continues to lead the America East in hitting (.389) and first baseman Kevin Gsell is fourth (.375).

Freshman right-hander Dan McAliney will make his third collegiate start against the Big Red. In his last outing, McAliney worked 2.0 scoreless innings against St. Bonaventure last Tuesday.  

The Big Red are coming off a tough weekend where they dropped three games to Brown. Cornell is 3-6 in the Ivy League after winning two of three against Yale and dropping two of three to Columbia. The team is 4-6 in its last 10 games, including a 13-3 home win over Division III Ithaca last Tuesday. 

Cornell is hitting .238 and has a 7.15 pitching ERA.

Cornell leads the all-time series 24-18-1. The Big Red won two of the three head-to-head games last spring and have won seven of the last 11 (7-3-1).
