Oswego State baseball goes 2-1 on Senior Day weekend

By Luke Rosenthal — 4 years ago

OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego State baseball team faced off against rival SUNY Brockport this weekend in a three-game series, winning the the first two contests 2-0 before dropping the final game 13-11. This was the first home series of the season for the Lakers after multiple games were either postponed or moved to a different location.

In Saturday’s Senior Day game, the Lakers celebrated a total of 12 seniors, including Ryan Enos who’s emerged as one of the best division III players in the country. However, game one of the series was mainly a battle between the pitchers — not something that was expected for these juggernaut offenses. The first five innings of the contest were scoreless with both teams combining for just four hits. It wasn’t until the sixth inning where a single from Julian Drew brought in Kyle Lauria for the Lakers first score. In the top of the seventh inning, the Golden Eagles hit one deep into center field, but Lauria tracked the ball down and made a tremendous diving catch to keep the game 1-0. Oswego carried this momentum into their next at-bat where Jacob Levine hit a double to help Blake Vandreason cross home plate. Oswego went on to win the Senior Day contest 2-0 with Jacob Sanders and Sean Dertinger allowing a total of two hits.

Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader started much the same as the first game of the series for the Lakers, retiring the first six Brockport batters. Though, unlike the prior contest, Oswego got their offense rolling early on as they took a two-run lead in the bottom of the first. Paul Tammaro, Enos, and Lauria all reached base with Ryan Weiss bringing home Enos off a single. Jacob Levine the singled opposite of Weiss to the right side, allowing Lauria to reach home plate. In the fourth inning, the Golden Eagles were in a threatening position with men on first and second. After a strikeout by Kieran Finnegan, the Lakers collected the third out of the inning on a line out to third base. Oswego was then able to shutout Brockport through the remaining innings and went on to win 2-0 once again. Finnegan moved to 5-0 on the season, allowing just three hits while facing 26 batters.

Game 2 of the Sunday doubleheader was completely night and day from the previous two games. Brockport struck first to take a 1-0 lead in the opening inning, with Oswego responding with three runs of their own in bottom of the first. After a leadoff walk by Tammaro, Enos advanced him to third with a huge double to left field. Lauria hit a sac fly to center field, which brought in Tammaro for their first run. Soon after, Ryan Weiss was walked and Enos stole third base in the process. Levine then took after Lauria and hit a sac fly to center field, bringing in Enos for the Lakers second run. After a CJ McCarthy walk, Julian Drew slung one to center field, pushing the Laker lead to 3-1. In the top of the third, Brockport cut the Oswego lead with a run of their own. After some back-and-forth stellar pitching, the Lakers put two more on the board in the fourth inning and another in the fifth, giving them a 6-2 lead. In the top of the sixth, the momentum began to swing Brockport’s way. The Golden Eagles racked up seven hits and brought in five runs to take the lead. Then in the seventh inning, Brockport put up two more runs, bringing the score to 9-6. Though, the onslaught wouldn’t stop there as the away team scored four more runs in the eighth inning to make the score 13-6. Oswego began to rally back in the final two innings, but were just able to muster five runs. Brockport took game three of the series by a score of 13-11.

Following the series, Oswego moves to 21-7 on the season and 11-1 in the SUNYAC Conference — tied for first with Cortland. The Lakers will have the chance to carry this momentum into their next game against Ithaca College before hosting Cortland at home next weekend. Game time is set for 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday in Ithaca, NY.
