Baseball Takes Series Finale at Fordham
March 09, 2025 | Baseball
BRONX, N.Y. – Army West Point Baseball was looking to salvage the weekend in Sunday's series finale against the Fordham Rams, and did just that with an 8-2 win at Houlihan Park in The Bronx.
Bryce Brownlee allowed just two runs across five innings, three Black Knights recorded multiple RBIs and Robbie Penswick recorded a four-inning save in Army's win.
In just his third game back this season, William Parker launched a two-run home run in the opening inning to give the Black Knights an early lead. Army never looked back.
The Rams got within a run in the bottom half of the first, but Addison Ainsworth captured the two-run lead back for Army a frame later on a sacrifice fly to score Thomas Schreck.
In the fourth, Chris Barr scored Paul Andrzejewski on a single before Ainsworth tucked a two-run double into the corner in left to put Army ahead 6-1.
After Penswick entered from the bullpen in the sixth inning after a Fordham run, the sophomore retired 12 of his 14 total batters faced, including two on strikeouts. He preserved Brownlee's win and claimed the second save by a Black Knight pitcher this year.
Army created further separation in the eighth inning, on a Barr RBI infield single and another RBI single off Ainsworth's bat.
By the Numbers
8: Brownlee retired eight consecutive batters from the first inning into the fourth.
4: Ainsworth had four RBIs, and a 3-for-4 line Sunday with two doubles.
3-for-5: Barr was 3-for-5 with a pair RBIs and a double.
2-for-5: Justin Lehman went 2-for-5 Sunday.
Black Knight Notes
Lehman returned to first base, after spending two consecutive non-pitching starts at right field. Zac Farrell played in right for the second time in 2025.
Ainsworth extended his on-base streak to 12 games, and Quinlan reached base for the eighth consecutive contest.
The win is Army's second in a row in a series finale.
Army committed zero errors in a game for the third time this season.
Next Up
Army opens midweek play Wednesday with a 3:30 p.m. first pitch vs. UAlbany at Doubleday Field.
Next weekend, the Black Knights travel to Navy for three games April 15-16, for a renewal of the Star Series presented by USAA.
