Looking to rebound from a home loss to CCSU on Wednesday afternoon, the UConn Huskies traveled to New York City Friday afternoon to square off against the Columbia Lions. Junior ace Anthony Kay got the start.
Similar to Wednesday, UConn dug themselves an early hole. In the bottom half of the first, Columbia's Nick Maguire launched a home run over the right field fence to give the Lions an early 2-0 advantage.
Columbia plated another runner in the bottom half of the second, which ended with UConn left fielder John Toppa gunning down a runner at the plate to minimize potential run damage.
