BALTIMORE—The UMBC baseball team fell to Yale University, 8-1, in the third game of a three-game series on Sunday at the Baseball Factory Field at UMBC.

The Bulldogs jumped to an early, 2-0 lead in the first inning on successive Ryan Lavarnway and Charles Bush doubles before both teams had a scoring drought for four straight innings, when Yale added five more runs in the fifth.

The Bulldogs batted through their order with five different players scoring before Stanley grounded out to end the inning, with a 7-0 advantage over the Retrievers.

The game saw another scoring drought for three innings, until the Bulldogs added their eighth and final run off a Josh Cox single to shortstop.

Scheffel scored the Retrievers’ lone run of the game in the eighth to end the scoring for both teams.

The Retrievers will travel to the U.S. Naval Academy on Wednesday, March 7, before returning home to host a three-game series against Wagner College from Mar. 9-11.
