Oswego State baseball hits this weekend out of the park
ONEONTA, N.Y. – The Oswego Lakers baseball team had quite the impressive weekend in they’re three games played. Saturday the Lakers had a double header where they sweeped SUNY Oneonta in impressive fashion. The first matchup was a 8-0 shutout with the Lakers having an answer for everything Oneonta threw their way. Senior Paul Tammaro led the charge with two runs scored on the day with two RBIs. Ryan Enos also had two runs on the day in a performance that is far from unexpected. Enos has proved to be an integral part of this Laker team. Pure domination is the only way to describe this game as Oneonta could get absolutely nothing going in this contest. Pitcher Jakob Sanders had six strikeouts on the day and only gave up one hit.The next game was much of the same as this time only one run was scored for Oneonta, making the final score 7-1. Tammaro lead the large again in this contest as he was the lead scorer with two runs and two RBIs. Enos also had a run with two RBIs in this game. The Lakers weren’t able to get much going until late in the contest. Going into the top of the seventh, the score was 2-1 with the lakers sitting on a one point lead. They went on to score five runs in the seventh sealing this contest. They would then have one more contest with Oneonta the following day.
With Oneonta out for blood, this contest was much closer than the previous two. A slow start for the Lakers resulted in Oneonta having a three run lead early in the contest. The following inning the Lakers put up two runs when senior Ryan Weiss hit a two run homer that couldn’t have been more clutch. With the momentum back with the Lakers they began to fight 6-1 run the rest of the contest, resulting in a 8-6 victory. Weiss was the star player with three runs total and a homer on the day. The Lakers look to take this momentum into next week as they face Clarkson University at home this Tuesday in a double header. Games start at 2pm and 5pm. Catch it live on WTOP10!

Oswego Men’s Lacrosse: Season Debut Delayed
OSWEGO, NY — The Oswego State Men’s Lacrosse Team hasn’t played a game since March 10th of last year. Unfortunately, the Lakers will have to wait a bit longer to play their first game of the 2021 season. Oswego was originally scheduled to begin their season at home vs. SUNY Morrisville on March 17th, but due to a positive coronavirus case on the opposing team, the game was cancelled. Oswego was then scheduled to play SUNY Oneonta on March 20th, however the game was postponed earlier on Friday due to a positive case on the Lakers team.
This is now the second time in one week the Lakers will have their game either postponed or cancelled. The next scheduled game for Oswego is March 26th vs Geneseo. This was unfortunate for the Lakers as the game vs. Geneseo is the first of six scheduled SUNYAC games, meaning Oswego will have played zero games before conference play begins. If this happens, Oswego will be the only team in their division to not play a game before conference play starts. The Oswego Men’s Lacrosse Team last played Geneseo on April 20th, 2019, in a 13-14 home loss.
