The 2012 Big Red
The 2012 season was filled with dramatic victories, marked by a perfect 5-0 mark in extra-inning affairs. It was an extraordinary turnaround in just a year's time after the Big Red posted a 10-30 record in 2011, then rebounded for a program record 31 victories in 2012. The team's 14-6 record in Ivy League play was also a program high in either the Ivy League or EIBL. Not surprisingly, Cornell mopped up with 11 All-Ivy selections, including a pair of first-team pitchers in Connor Kaufmann '14 and Kellen Urbon '15. Urbon was a unanimous selection as a first-team relief pitcher and was also named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year — the first time a Cornellian has taken the award since Walkenbach did it himself in 1995.
