Oswego State Baseball went on the road to take on New Paltz in a Tuesday afternoon SUNYAC East vs West doubleheader on April 6th. The Lakers offense erupted for 35 runs combined in both games which led the Lakers to two victories by scores of 24-12, and 11-3, as the Lakers overall record moves to 3-1.

Both offenses were firing on all cylinders in game one, as New Paltz scored 12 runs on 15 hits, but that was no match for the 24 runs on 17 hits the Lakers produced. Every Oswego batter that had three or more at bats got a hit in game one, and multiple batters had numerous RBIs and runs. Myles Felton led the Lakers with 4 RBIs, he was 1-4 at the plate with a double, and Felton was one of five Lakers to have an extra base hit in game one. Paul Tammaro and Connor Stanton each had three hits and a double apiece as they touched home plate a combined eight times. Frank Levanti also had himself a three hit day as he was 3-5 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs. Ryan Weiss contributed two doubles, two runs, and an RBI to the Laker offense, and Jacob Levine hit his second home run of the year as he had a 2 RBI day. Dean Stalzer of New Paltz led the Hawks offense as he was 3-5 with 3 runs, and 6 RBIs, but six of the eight Hawks pitchers gave up multiple runs as the Oswego offense was overpowering in game one.

The Oswego offense carried over into game two, as they scored 11 runs on 10 hits. Most of this Oswego offense was insurance runs in their 6-run 5th inning and 2-run 6th inning, as Jai Sharma shined on the mound in his first collegiate appearance. Sharma threw all 6 innings as he allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, but fanned 8 batters in the process. Sharma’s fellow freshman classmate Levine kept his hot bat going as he was 2-3 with a double, triple, and 4 RBIs, to help the Lakers sweep the doubleheader.

Oswego had 35 runs and 27 hits on the day as their offense came ready to hit today. Oswego State Baseball continues their 2021 season with their home opener doubleheader on Thursday, April 8th at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. versus Alfred State. WTOP 10 will be live at the baseball field with all the action as the Lakers continue their march towards their fourth SUNYAC Championship in as many years.
