The Oswego State baseball team defeated number 15 Southern Maine in a slugfest by a score of 15-14 on Saturday. Brandon Nicholson led the Lakers with four hits including a double in the fifth that plated two. Mike Delicarri, John Barnes and Robert Donnelly each finished with three hits apiece. Matt Bowman pitched the ninth inning to pick up his second win of the season. Oswego will travel to Ithaca tomorrow to take on the Bombers. First pitch is scheduled for 3 pm.

The Oswego men’s baseball team defeated the Rochester Yellowjackets yesterday in dramatic fashion. The Lakers were trailing heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, but junior infielder Brandon Nicholson hit a double to left that drove in two runs and tied the game at seven. The hitting was contagious as later in that inning three consecutive Lakers put the ball in play, extending their lead by four. That lead was more than enough for the Lakers to pick up the win as they move to 17-6 on the season. Oswego plays host to conference opponent Brockport in a three game series that begins Friday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for noon.
