WEST POINT, N.Y. — Colgate dropped the first game of its three-game set at Army, 8-0 in five innings, before Game 2 was suspended due to adverse weather conditions in the bottom of the third inning. The Black Knights hold a 4-3 lead when play resumes Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
Game 1 | Army 8, Colgate 0 (5)
- Army did most of its damage in the bottom of the second inning, scoring seven of its eight runs. The Black Knights benefited from four walks and four hits in the inning, with the big blow coming from a two-run homer by Ashton White to give the home team a 7-0 lead.
