James Cronin was 5-for-7 with a home run, two doubles and two stolen bases to lead the St. Lawrence University baseball team to a split in the team's season-ending doubleheader at Skidmore on Sunday afternoon.

The Saints lost the first game 10-7, then rebounded with a 7-4 win in the second game.

"It was great to end the season on a high note," said Collins. "I am so proud of the effort we had this season. Special congratulations to the seniors who made everything possible."
