Philadelphia, Pa.— The John Jay baseball team was swept in a doubleheader by Arcadia University, losing the first game 8-1 and the second game 12-8 on Saturday afternoon.
John Jay is now 7-25 this season.
In the first game, the Bloodhounds lone run came in the top of the first.
Yahnny Arias led off the game with a triple, then scored on an RBI groundout by
Owen Kimmel. The run gave John Jay a 1-0 lead early in the contest.
The Bloodhounds kept the 1-0 lead into the third inning when the host Knights scored a pair of runs to take the lead. Arcadia proceeded to score two more in the fifth and four in the sixth for an 8-1 lead en route to the win.

Arcadia's Justin Simpson had three hits in the first game and scored three times.
Braylin Perez suffered the loss after going five innings and allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits. He struck out four.
Steve Romand earned the game one win for the Knights after going the distance and allowing a run on five hits with four strikeouts.
