The Oswego State Baseball team takes the field on April 3rd for the first time in the 2021 season, after the first three games to start their season were postponed or canceled. The Lakers go on the road to Brockport for a 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. doubleheader against the Golden Eagles, as they begin their road to a fourth straight SUNYAC title.
The first pitch on Saturday will mark the first game for the Lakers since the last contest of their shortened 2020 season on March 8th, which was a 6-4 win at Arcadia. The Lakers have won three straight SUNYAC titles and looked like they would have a good chance at four straight in their abbreviated season. The Lakers return three graduate students as well as 13 seniors who are all looking to win yet another SUNYAC championship. Oswego lost lots of top players over the past two years, but return big bats in Ryan Weiss (.444 AVG, 2 2B, 6 RBIs in 2020), Paul Tammaro (.429 AVG, 6 runs, 2B in 2020), and Kyle Lauria (.360 AVG, 2 2B, 2 3B, 7 RBIs in 2020).
Brockport is off to a 3-1 start, with a doubleheader split at Oneonta, followed by a dominating doubleheader sweep at Fredonia in which they outscored the Blue Devils a combined 32-4 this past Tuesday, March 30th. The doubleheader against Oswego marks Brockport baseball’s first game on their home field this season. Brockport has a plethora of hitters off to scorching hot starts this season; James Houlahan (.529 AVG, 2B, 2 RBIs), Ryan Mansell (.500 AVG, 4 2B, 3 RBIs), Nick Pastore (.471 AVG, 2 3B, 4 RBIs), Ryan Voight (.364, AVG, 2 2B, 1 HR, 7 RBIs).
Oswego pitchers will look to cool down the hot Brockport bats and the hitters will look to get off to a hot start right out of the gate. Oswego baseball starts their season Saturday, April 3rd at Brockport, with first pitches of the doubleheader scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. and WTOP 10 will continue to deliver content on the Oswego State Baseball team over the course of their 2021 season.
