PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader to Princeton, 11-9 and 25-7, to wrap up play against the Lou Gehrig Division in Ivy League action on Sunday at Murray Stadium.

Brown (9-15, 3-5 Ivy League) swept Cornell on Saturday to split the weekend. Princeton improves to 13-13, 6-2.

Game 1 (Princeton 11, Brown 9)
Senior Jake Levine (Newton, Mass.) went 2-for-4 including one home run and drove in three runs, while Marc Sredojevic (Mendham, N.J.) had three hits and two RBIs. Tim McKeithan (Arden, N.C.) had two hits and drove in a pair of runs.

Cameron Mingo allowed four earned runs in five innings of work to earn the win. Austin French (Orange, Conn.) took the loss as he allowed five earned runs in 4.1 innings with seven strikeouts.

Princeton went right to work with four runs in each of the first two innings, but the Bears responded with one in the first on a Levine solo shot. The Bears then scored three in the second on one error and two hits. Brown continued offensively with one run each in the third and fourth innings, as Sam Grigo (Westbrook, Conn.) homered to left and Rob Henry (Cranston, R.I.) singled up the middle.

After Princeton tacked on two more runs in the sixth, McKeithan gave the Bears an RBI single in the bottom half, but the Tigers answered with another run in the top of the seventh for the four-run lead.

Brown continued to attack with two more runs in the seventh behind RBI singles from Sredojevic and McKeithan, but Danny Thompson was able to get the final two outs with the bases loaded for the win.

Game 2 (Princeton 25, Brown 7)
Princeton used 25 hits to power past the Bears in the second game, despite seven runs on 10 hits by the home side. Noah Shulman (Merrick, N.Y.) went 3-for-4 with four RBIs to pace the Brown offense, while Kevin Guthrie (Sarasota, Fla.) also had three hits and Levine scored three times. Shulman and Grigo had one home run apiece.

JJ Sliepka (Houston, Texas) was handed the loss as the starter in 1.1 innings of work. Keelan Smithers had the win on the other side with five runs allowed in five innings.

After a three-run first, the Bears answered with two runs in the bottom half, but the Tigers countered with eight runs in the second inning for 16-3 advantage heading into the fifth frame. Princeton capped the game with nine runs over the final two frames.

Brown will host Rhode Island on Tuesday in midweek action at 3 p.m.
