The Oswego State baseball team staged two late rallies, but it would not be enough as the visiting Lakers were swept by Plattsburgh by the scores of 7-6, 14-5, and 7-0 on Friday at Chip Cummings Field. Both teams played all three games due to inclement weather in the forecast for the area on Saturday.  The losses dropped the Lakers to 13-17 on the year with a 1-14 SUNYAC mark, while the Cardinals moved to 15-17 overall with an 8-8 SUNYAC record.

In game one, Plattsburgh pitcher Paul Handy worked eight innings with one strikeout and a walk to earn the win. Cardinal reliever Matt Seymour came on for the save in the ninth, logging a strikeout and allowing a run before closing it out.  Starting Laker pitcher Marc Peterson took the loss went six innings with two strikeouts.

The Cardinals jumped on Oswego State early when a two-RBI single by Kris Cauchon gave the home team a 2-0 lead. Cauchon scored on an ensuing Pat Shaughnessy single.  Shaugnessy later stole third base and scored himself after one of the six Laker errors occurred. A double down the left field line by Crockett Pack gave Plattsburgh a 5-0 lead entering the fourth inning.

Oswego State responded in the fifth inning when a single by Mike Stark brought Tyler Baker and Mike Tarnowski across the plate, but the Cardinals tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the inning when a sacrifice fly by Cross scored Shaughnessy to make the score 6-2.

After another insurance run driven in by Cauchon extended the lead to 7-2, the Cardinal lead began to evaporate. Mike Miller delivered a two-RBI double that brought around Maloney and Ed Charles and a follow-up sacrifice fly by Tarnowski scored Miller to narrow the gap to 7-5.  A single by Charles in the ninth brought in Stark and brought the score to 7-6 before Seymour logged the final strikeout to end the comeback.

Plattsburgh jumped on the Lakers immediately in the second game of the series by scoring 12 runs in the bottom of the first inning on eight hits and two errors and tallied another run in the second.  Oswego State got on the scoreboard in the third inning following two-out RBI singles from the bats of Maloney and Miller. 

The Cardinals added a run in the fourth to take a 14-2 lead into the final inning when the Lakers tried to grab some momentum for the final game.  Oswego State scored three runs in its final at-bat with a RBI single from Charles and a two-RBI single from Miller.

Dustin Lefave recorded the loss going two-thirds of an inning, giving up 11 runs, five of which were unearned, on eight hits.  Marc Plante posted the win for Plattsburgh after four innings on the mound and allowing two runs.

Unfortunately, the Lakers were unable to carry over the offensive synergy from game two into the final game of the day.  The Cardinal pitching staff stymied Oswego State, limiting the visitors to three hits.  Plattsburgh had timely hits in the first and second innings to go ahead 4-0.  It extended its lead during the fifth with one run and a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth.

Jon Stevens went three innings on the mound for the Lakers to earn the loss, surrendering four runs on nine hits combined with four walks.  Matt Schaper came on in relief allowing three runs on eight hits in five innings of work.  Plattsburgh's Tyler Greene posted the complete game shutout striking out five and issuing two walks.

Oswego State has a busy week starting on Tuesday with a non-conference doubleheader at Keuka College.  The first pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
