MAHWAH, N.J. - The Drew University baseball team pulled to within three run after trailing by seven, but Ramapo College held on to hand the Rangers a 12-9 setback in non-conference action Tuesday afternoon. Senior Zach Lipshitz tied a school record with five walks for the Rangers (10-10) while sophomore Cole Bosch drove in four runs.

Highlights
• It was a close game in the early going, as the lead changed hands three times over the first four-and-a-half innings. A two-run single from Bosch put the Rangers up 3-2 in the third, and RBI-singles from senior Joe Grossane and junior Brian Dagostino in the top of the fifth put Drew ahead 5-4.
• Freshman starter Teddy Hoxie left after four innings, yielding four runs on five hits. Ramapo (8-8) broke through with an eight-run sixth against a pair of Drew relievers to open up  a 12-5 lead.
• The Rangers refused to go quietly, however, and pushed across four runs on two hits and four walks in the eighth. Senior Mike Pettigrew drilled a two-run single while Bosch also doubled in a run. But a pair of Ramapo relievers retired four of the last five Ranger batters to quell the rally.

Top Performers
• Lipshitz reached base five times in six at-bats and scored three runs. He equaled the school's base on balls record set by John Simpson at Kean University in 1991.
• Bosch finished 2-for-5 and knocked in four runs for the second time this season.
• Junior Matthew Lange went 2-for-4 with a double and pushed his hitting streak to 12. Classmate Max Felsenstein was also 2-for-4.
• Junior Vinny Carlesi tossed the final two innings for the Rangers, blanking the Road Runners on two hits.
