Oswego State Baseball Sweeps New Paltz

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.

Oswego State Baseball prepares for New Paltz

Oswego State baseball takes the road Tuesday, April 6th for a 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. doubleheader at New Paltz. The Lakers come in at 1-1 after splitting a doubleheader Saturday, April 3rd at Brockport, winning 7-2, and then losing 14-2.

Ryan Enos and Myles Felton look to pick up where they left off for the Lakers, as they each had two doubles to go along with two RBIs last Saturday. Anthony Van Fossen and Kieran Finnegan also looked sharp on the mound in the season opener, as Van Fossen allowed one run and three hits over the course of his five innings, and Finnegan surrendered one run on one less hit than his counterpart over four innings. Tuesday’s doubleheader is the first two games of a six game in six day span, and it will be interesting to see how head coach Scott Landers handles his pitching staff Tuesday. 

The New Paltz Hawks are 2-0, they come in without playing in a live game in over two weeks, as they swept Skidmore in a doubleheader Sunday, March 21st 7-1 and 6-1. The Hawks offense showed some signs of promise in those two games, Justin Harvey was 4-8 with a home run and 4 RBIs, and Ryan Geraghty was 4-7 with a double and an RBI. New Paltz also features SUNYAC Week One Pitcher of the Week in Anthony Amoroso, who threw six shutout innings while surrendering two hits.

Oswego has the advantage in seeing live game action recently, but New Paltz has had this day circled for over two weeks now and both teams are ready to go. Oswego baseball takes on the New Paltz Hawks Tuesday April 6th in a 1:00 and 3:00 doubleheader in New Paltz.
