Home Runs Help RIT Past Saints; Second Game Suspended in the Ninth

RIT recorded six extra-base hits, including three home runs, en route to a 10-1 win over the St. Lawrence University baseball team in game one of a Liberty League doubleheader on Tom Fay Field in Canton, N.Y Friday afternoon.

The second game was suspended prior to the start of the ninth inning with the score tied 5-5 due to rain and worsening field conditions.

The games scheduled for Saturday on Tom Fay Field have been postponed and will likely be played in Rochester, N.Y. The date for those games, as well as the continuation of Friday's suspended game is still to be determined.

Game 1 – RIT 10, St. Lawrence 1 (7 innings)
After taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning, RIT pushed across six runs in the top of the fourth with the help of two home runs to make it 7-0.

Daniel Zeglen led RIT with a 2-for-3 performance at the plate, finishing with two home runs and five RBI in the win for the Tigers. His second home run of the day capped off a three-run sixth for RIT that pushed the lead to 10-1.

James Cronin went 3-for-3 for St. Lawrence and drove in the team's only run in the bottom of the fourth inning with an RBI double down the right field line, scoring Anthony Butler.

Brendon Frank extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single in the first inning, while Alex Black, Butler and Tyler Guido also had hits for the Saints.

Starter Patrick Greenan took the loss on Friday, throwing 3.2 innings and allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks with three strikeouts. Louis LaCivita and Charlie Pacilio made appearances in relief.

Brian Reed went 6.0 innings in the win for RIT, as he gave up just one run on six hits with nine strikeouts. Kyle Povlock pitched the final inning in relief and allowed one hit.

Game 2 – RIT 5, St. Lawrence 5 (Top of the 9th Inning)
**Please note: Stats are not official until the game is completed.


Prior to the game being suspended in the top of the ninth inning, the Saints had just come all the way back and erased an early deficit to tie the game on an RBI groundout by designated hitter Evan Reichel in the bottom of the eighth inning. He also homered to right field in the fourth inning.

RIT had scored two runs in both the first and second innings to take a 4-0 lead, but the Saints single runs in four straight innings before adding the tying run in the eighth.

At the time of suspension, O'Keeffe was 3-for-4 with three doubles, an RBI and a run scored to lead the Saints at the plate. Frank and Butler also has multi-hit games going.

Will Fellows is the pitcher of record at the moment, having pitched a scoreless inning in relief allowing just one hit. Starter Caleb Clarke is off the hook for the decision after throwing 7.0 innings and giving up five runs on five hits with six walks and three strikeouts.

Records - St. Lawrence (2-16, 1-8 LL); RIT (7-8, 4-5 LL)
