As the Princeton Tigers baseball team (17–24 overall, 12–9 Ivy League) departed campus on Friday for a road series against the Columbia Lions (26–15, 17–4), the stakes could not have been higher: a single win would clinch the Tigers’ spot in the Ivy League Tournament. For a team that hadn’t been swept all season and had just taken three straight against seventh-place Dartmouth, this may not have sounded like a difficult task. However, with wins in 20 of their last 23 games, Columbia was a different class of opponent than Princeton had faced all season. Just scraping by with one win against Columbia would not be easy, but the Tigers were up to the challenge.

After a tough start to the season featuring blowout losses against nationally ranked opponents, Princeton looked to turn over a new leaf in conference play. Out-of-conference results carry no weight in the Ivy League standings, so the Tigers’ early-season woes are safely behind them as they enter the most important part of their schedule.

When Joe Haumacher was hired as pitching coach for the Princeton baseball team prior to the 2023 season, the program was in dire straits. The Tigers were coming off a season in which they went 7–33, finishing in the basement of the Ivy League. They also finished last in the league in both 2019 and 2020, with the 2021 season shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For Princeton, Haumacher represented the centerpiece of a shifting philosophy under longtime head coach Scott Bradley. The baseball team would ride the wave of analytics revolutionizing baseball across the major leagues.

Off to their best start to a season since the 1919-20 season, the Tigers looked to cement their place in school history as a win would give the program their first-ever 10–0 start.

As Furman Paladins (4–4 overall, 0–0 Southern Conference) forward Garrett Hien hit a free throw to put Princeton men’s basketball (8–0, 0–0 Ivy League) down by ten points with 4:37 left in the game, Jadwin Gymnasium fell silent. After an uncharacteristically toothless day for the Tiger offense, it seemed that the team’s undefeated start to the season may finally be derailed. Furman had outshot and outrebounded the Tigers by a wide margin, and shaky shooting from the team’s starters had prevented any sort of extended run. With no answer for Furman’s defense, Princeton seemed destined for their first loss, but their last-minute comeback victory to win 70–69 sent the crowd in Jadwin Gymnasium into a frenzy.
