For the second straight day, the St. Lawrence baseball team split with Skidmore in a Liberty League doubleheader. It is the team's seventh Liberty League split this season, as the Saints dropped the first game 6-5 in eight innings, but rebounded for a 6-1 win in game two behind a complete-game performance from first-year pitcher Evan Reichel.

Reichel allowed one run on seven hits and shattered his previous career-high in strikeouts with eight against the Thoroughbreds on Sunday.

Devin Robson led the Saints with a combined four RBI – two in each game – while he, Taylor Digilio and Michael LeFevre each finished with four hits.

In game one, the team's traded three-run innings with Skidmore opening up a 3-0 lead in the second before the Saints pulled even in the bottom of the third.

Digilio reached on an error by the Skidmore third baseman to lead off the frame and back-to-back singles for Kyle MacDonald and Isaac Lewis loaded the bases for Robson with one out. The Macedon, N.Y. native singled to right field to drive in Digilio and Adam Reichel followed with an RBI groundout to second to cut the deficit to 3-2.

Lewis came around to score in the next at-bat for the Saints on a wild pitch to tie the game at 3-3.

Skidmore added a run on two hits in the top of the fifth inning to take the lead, but the Saints again answered in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI double by Robson that plated LeFevre to make it a 4-4 game.

Skidmore led off the top of the seventh with a triple to center field and followed with an RBI single to pull in front, 5-4.

In the bottom of the frame with two outs, Digilio doubled to right and then advanced to third on a wild pitch before LeFevre drove him in with an RBI double to left center to tie the game and force extra innings.

Skidmore's run on an RBI single in the top of the eighth was the difference, as the Saints had opportunities in the bottom of the frame but left two men on base – including the tying run on third, and finished
with a total of 17 men left on base in the loss.

Frank Grady was the pitcher of record, as he came in in relief of Liam Rogers for the eighth. Starter Dan Hedden allowed four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts in five and a third for the Saints.

In game two, the Saints jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back. They manufactured the first run on three straight singles by Mic Regan, LeFevre and MacDonald before a sac fly by Lewis and an RBI double by Robson made it 3-0. Robson scored the fourth run of the inning on a passed ball.

St. Lawrence extended the lead to 6-0 with a pair of runs in the third inning, as Regan scored when Lewis grounded into a double play with the bases loaded and LeFevre scored on an RBI single from Robson.

Skidmore's lone run of the game came in the fifth via an RBI single up the middle.

With the split, the Saints improve to 9-16 overall and 7-9 in the Liberty League. They'll travel to Hamilton on Tuesday for a nonconference game before playing host to Union for a four-game conference set on Saturday and Sunday.
