By Michael Shetler — 3 years ago

2022_Team_Photo ROCHESTER, NY – It was a successful weekend for the Lakers as they convincingly beat the Fredonia Blue Devils in both of their encounters this weekend. Game won was nothing short of a blowout that saw the Lakers dominate Fredonia with a final score of 12-1. The momentum was in favor of the Lakers from the start as they truly dominated this game. Fredonia would score their only run of the game in the top of the second inning. Senior Colin Williams was on fire this game as he finished with one run and two RBI’s. It really was a team effort however as the Lakers were firing on all cylinders from start to finish. The Lakers looked to take this momentum into the next day where they had a rematch against the Blue Devils.

The Lakers kept the momentum rolling the next day when they knocked off Fredonia for the second time. This game was a lot closer and saw both teams fighting hard for a victory. The Lakers started off hot scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. The Blue Devils weren’t going to let history repeat itself as they bounced right back tying the game in the third. The Lakers then went on to score three more runs and the game looked like it was shaping up to be another Lakers victory. Fredonia was not done however as they came right back and scored three more runs to tie the game at six. After this the game got out of hand with the Lakers completely taking over. Freshman Emil Sander would score the Lakers final run to give them a five run victory as the Lakers completed the weekend sweep. The Lakers look to keep this momentum rolling as they head to New Paltz this Friday at 3pm.

Oswego State baseball hits this weekend out of the park

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

Tammaro1ONEONTA, 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!

By Michael Shetler — 4 years ago

 

Enos14

WINCHESTER, V.A. — The Oswego State baseball team took a road trip to play in three contests in Virginia this weekend. The first game against Keystone was an absolute massacre as Oswego poured on twenty-seven runs by the end of the contest. The Lakers managed to score in every inning besides the fourth, and managed to ball out with twenty-three hits throughout the game. The most notable performance of this game was from senior Ryan Enos who shattered program records by cranking three homers, six total hits and five runs. A performance highly unlikely to be matched anytime soon. Graduate Student Lukas Olsson also scored five runs this game. Senior Leadoff batter Paul Tammaro proved why he has that role as he three for four with four runs scored as he had his first homerun of the season. Additionally Tammaro had 3 RBI’s. Center fielder Kyle Lauria scored 3 runs on the night in another impressive showing. Everyone got a chance to eat in this contest as this was the definition of a statement victory. The final score was 27-14. The Lakers would then take on Shenandoah University.

The Lakers had another dominant victory against Shenandoah University with the final score being 9-2. Senior Paul Tammaro was an absolute monster in this game hitting two homers in his first two at bats contributing to the Lakers early three run lead. Shenandoah did manage to score two runs, but the contest was never close. Graduate Student Ryan Weiss went 2-5, however both his were RBI’s giving Oswego some breathing room. Freshman Tishawn Featherstone and senior Ryan Enos both had RBI’s to seal this contest. On the mound, senior Kieran Finnegan had a fantastic day with ten total strikeouts. He managed to only let in two runs in six innings. The Lakers would face Shenandoah again the following day.

The Lakers completed the weekend sweep against Shenandoah. Sundays contest was much closer than the first encounter with a final score of 10-8. Similar to the last game Oswego went up early scoring four runs in the first two innings. Graduate student Lukas Olsson was a huge name in todays performance hitting 3 RBI’s. Per usual senior Ryan Enos had a day scoring two runs as well as an RBI. Other notable performances include  graduate student Kyle Lauria who scored his first homer of the season as well as two RBI. Paul Tammaro also had himself a day with one run and an overall impressive performance. Shenandoah gave the Lakers a run for their money, however the Lakers stayed calm under pressure and got the job done, completing the weekend sweep. The Lakers take this momentum into next week as they play seven games in Florida. The first contest is against Ramapo College March 13th at 10:30am.
