The Raptors fell 2-1 in extra innings in Game 1, before the Thoroghbreeds of Skidmore cruised to an 11-1 victory in Game 2.
With the losses, Bard dropped to 6-9 overall and 0-2 in the Liberty League, while Skidmore improved to 8-7 and 3-3.
In the first game, Bard fell in heartbreaking fashion, as Will Porter's (Charlotte, VT) walk-off single handed the Throughbreeds the victory in the bottom of the ninth. Porter drilled a 2-out, 1-0 pitch down the left field line, easily scoring the man on third as Bard had no play on the play.
The winning run came after the Thoroughbreeds got on the board first in the contest, following a fourth-inning Jake Hardy (Briarcliff Manor, NY) RBI single.
The Raptors' lone run came in the fifth, as Ryan Chipman scored following a fielding error on Skidmore.
On the mound, Evan Richardson finished with perhaps his best outing of the young season, as he struck out nine over seven innings of work and allowed just one run on five hits.
Skidmore's starter meanwhile, Spencer Anderson (Newton, MA), was also dealing on the day. He allowed just one unearned run on five hits over his 5.2 innings.
Both pitchers finished with no decisions however, as Tim Allen (Smithfield, RI) collected the win for Skidmore and Alex Bunnell received the loss for Bard.
Chipman and Rory Maglich each finished with two hits in Game 1.
In Game 2, things got away from Bard early. Skidmore scored one in the first, six in the second and four in the third as the offense came alive for the guests.
Matt Lasky scored on an error in the fourth inning for Bard's one run. Steve Marotta collected the loss for the Raptors, while Jacob Berish (Sharon, MA) finished with the win.
David Schlosser picked up two hits, including a triple, while Esteban Rivera walked twice in the effort.
Pat Geiger (East Brunswick, NJ) went 3-for-4 with a triple and four RBIs in the win.
