TROY, NY (April 10, 2011) -- The Vassar College baseball team suffered final-inning 5-4 losses in both games of the second doubleheader against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) on Sunday at Robison Field.

RPI sophomore Kevin Prosicki delivered the game-winning RBI-single and junior Dan Duval threw an 11-inning complete game to lead RPI to a 5-4, 11-inning, victory over Vassar in game one. Sophomore Chuck Erickson then won game two with a double to centerfield as the Engineers won, 5-4, in the bottom of the seventh.

The Brewers (10-10, 5-7 Liberty League) host cross-river rival SUNY New Paltz this Wednesday, April 13, at 4:00 p.m. RPI (13-8, 6-2) returns to the diamond next weekend, when it visits Rochester for a four-game series, beginning on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

RPI overcame a 4-0 deficit to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. With two outs in the RPI half of the 11th, sophomore Jonny Rio drew a walk. Classmate Tanner Boucher then pulled a single to right, before Prosicki came through with game-winning RBI-base hit to second base, scoring Rio all the way from second.

Duval earned his fourth win of the season (4-1) by allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits in game one. He struck out five, while walking five. The righthander did not allow a run after the fifth inning.

In game two, the Engineers once again won in come-back fashion, plating three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 lead.

After the Brewers tied the game in the top of the seventh, Erickson ripped a double to the wall in center, scoring Boucher from second for the 5-4 walk-off win.
