ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Behind a seventh inning grand slam from Nick Chilson, the Oswego State baseball team broke back into the win column by defeating the University of Rochester on the road, 5-4.

THE BASICS

• Final Score:  Oswego 5, Univ. of Rochester 4
• Location:  Towers Field - Rochester, N.Y.
• Records:  Oswego 23-12 | Rochester 16-14

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Chilson turned a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 lead with one out in the seventh inning with his second home run of the season.  
• Ryan Enos had reached base with a single and Lukas Olsson and Brandon Nicholson were on board with walks to set the table for Chilson.
• Oswego plated a fifth run when Dylan Frawley and Myles Felton walked to put runners in scoring position, and Rocco Leone singled to earn the RBI.
• Rochester looked to take control of the game early on with two runs in the fifth and were using a platoon of pitchers, five in the first six innings, to keep Oswego off the board.
• The Yellowjackets cut into the Laker lead with two runs in the eighth inning and had the go-ahead run aboard with two outs, but junior Ben Wilcox came in to induce a groundout to keep Oswego on top heading into the ninth inning.
• Bobby Zywicki came on in the ninth and buckled down with one out and the bases loaded to force a shallow fly out and a groundout to seal the win and earn his second save of the season.
• Jake Jacobs went the first four innings for the Lakers, allowing only four runners to reach base while striking out three.  Anthony Van Fossen (2-0) earns the win with a clean sixth inning of work.

WHAT'S NEXT

The Lakers return home to face conference opponent Fredonia on Friday with a 3 p.m. first pitch slated.
