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.

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.

New Paltz also features SUNYAC Week One Pitcher of the Week in Anthony Amoroso, who threw six shutout innings while surrendering two hits.
