The Rutgers baseball team’s season is far from over. With two weeks of regular season games left and a potential bid for the Big Ten Tournament in the works, the Scarlet Knights (16-24, 5-6) are far from done.
An early lead wasn’t enough as the Rutgers baseball team fell to Columbia 13-7 Wednesday afternoon at Bainton Field. A leadoff home run off the bat of senior first baseman Mike Carter to start the bottom of the first opened up the scoring and gave the Scarlet Knights (15-23, 4-5) an early 1-0 advantage.
After a week that saw the Rutgers baseball team win three out of four games, including two against Purdue -- the team’s first two wins in Big Ten play and the team’s first conference series win this season -- the Scarlet Knights (13-21, 2-4) started this week 0-2 and now head to Iowa for the weekend to play the Hawkeyes. In a home-and-home midweek matchup against Seton Hall, Rutgers lost both games, the second one in stunning and heartbreaking fashion.
Still coming down from its 28-run barrage against Lafayette earlier in the week, the Rutgers baseball team is set to host Purdue for a three-game weekend series at Bainton Field.
What a difference a week can make. After being mired in a four-game losing streak with seemingly nothing clicking, the Rutgers baseball team came out firing on all cylinders on a picture perfect Tuesday afternoon against Lafayette. The Scarlet Knights (11-18, 0-3) came into the game ice cold - scoring 6 total runs in their last four games.

After getting swept at home by No. 25 Maryland, the Rutgers baseball was hoping to right the ship against a Villanova team that had only won 3 of its first 19 games.
After a lackluster performance against now-No. 25 Maryland, the Rutgers baseball team looks to get back on track with a quick road trip to Villanova in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania to face the Wildcats. The Scarlet Knights (10-17, 0-3) did not start conference play the way they would have liked, getting swept at the hands of Maryland at Bainton Field over the weekend and leaving a sour taste in their mouths.
Following a four-game winning streak, the Rutgers baseball team saw that streak snapped as it was swept by Maryland in its first conference series on the season.
The Rutgers baseball team didn’t have that many hits in its showdown with Monmouth at Bainton Field on Wednesday, but the team sure made them count. After the first game of a two-game midweek series was rained out on Tuesday, the Scarlet Knights (10-14) were back home as they defeated Monmouth by a score of 6-4 to improve their winning streak to four games.
Riding a three game sweep at the hands of USC Upstate, the Rutgers baseball team is looking to keep its winning streak alive as it heads to West Long Branch to take on Monmouth. In a battle of two New Jersey teams, the Scarlet Knights (9-14) will take the Garden State Parkway to play the first of a two game series.
