OSWEGO, NY - Oswego in a big conference clash with Oneonta would take care of business in both games as Tishawn Featherstone has career day. 


GAME 1:
THE BASICS
Oswego 7 (20-11, 9-4 SUNYAC)
Oneonta 4 (21-10-1, 9-4 SUNYAC)
Laker Baseball Field | Oswego, NY 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• With seeding on the line both teams wanted to start off hot and in Game 1 out of 2, it was Oneonta that got on the scoreboard first.  The Red Dragons would have 2 men on, and Ryan Cronin would double to score 1. Joey Dwyer would ground out but that would score another Red Dragon run and they would be on top early, 2-0. 

• A sacrifice fly by Joe McLaughlin would shorten Oneonta's lead to just one as Daniel Winchester would cross home. The score was now 2-1.

• The game would speed by the next few innings as both pitchers settled in. 

• In the bottom of the 5th a throwing error by Oneonta's plate tender Logan Hutter would score the speedy Trey McGowan. Oswego all the sudden had the lead, 3-2.

• Hutter would single in the top of the 6th and then Brendan Duffy would follow that up with a 2-run blast into right field. The Red Dragons would snatch the lead right back. 

• Back and forth we go as Anthony Barone would come up big for Oswego as he would smash a RBI single into the outfield to tie this ball game up. McLaughlin would be credited for the run.

• In the bottom of the 7th T.J. Harrington would score on an error by the Red Dragons. Oswego was now leading 5-4.

• McGowan would add some insurance for the Lakers as he ripped a ball into center field to score Emil Sander and Joe McLaughlin. Oswego was running away with it as they led 7-4. 

• In the bottom of the 9th, Owen Hoyt would close the coffin, and the Lakers would prevail to win the first game, 7-4.  

WIN - Owen Hoyt (3 IP, 3 H, 1 SO, 0 ER))
LOSS - Martin Thorsland (4 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 2 SO)
Luke Belanger's POTG - T.J. Harrington (2 H, 1 R, 1 RBI)

GAME 2:
 
THE BASICS
Oswego 10 (21-11, 10-4 SUNYAC)
Oneonta 7 (21-11-1, 9-5 SUNYAC)
Laker Baseball Field | Oswego, NY 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Oneonta again came out of a cannon to start this one. Anthony Foglia had himself a day as he picked up a RBI on a double in the first. Ryan Cronin would then hit a sac fly to score Foglia. The Red Dragons were up 2 in the first frame. 

• It was a double party, and all the Red Dragons were invited. Nick Jacoby and Josh Gilkey would both pick up a 2-bagger. 3 runs would come out of them and Oneonta had a commanding, 5 run lead in the second. 

• Rosenberg also got an invitation to the double party and he sent Harrington and McGowan home with his circus blast into left center. Oswego made this lead a touch more manageable as they only were down 3. 

• Tishawn Featherstone would lead off the bottom of the fifth with a fence clearer as this was his 3rd dinger of the season. It was now 5-3 with the Red Dragons still in the driver's seat. 

• Oneonta in the top of the sixth wouldn't be able to respond but Tishawn Featherstone would hit yet another bomb in the bottom half of the frame. Everyone in attendance knew right when the ball made contact with the bat that the senior would be trotting around the bases yet again. This one came with 3 RBIs for the Lakers which gave them the lead, 6-5. Oswego wasn't done yet though. Dylan Rosenberg nuked one out to center field to give the Lakers 1 more run and a 7-5 lead to close out the sixth. 

• Joey Dwyer, clutch as can be, smoked a 2 RBI single into right field scoring Cronin and Foglia. This game was all squared up at 7.

• In the bottom of the 8^th, A walk and HBP with the bases loaded would give the gift of 2 runs to the Lakers. Oneonta would bring in the southpaw Domonic Colarusso and he would hit yet another Laker with the bases juiced. Oswego would now lead 10-7 going into the final inning. 

• Oneonta would go 1-2-3 due to a masterpiece of an inning from Alek Conrad and Oswego would win the game and take the series. 

 
WIN - Alek Conrad (2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 SO)
LOSS - Joshua Martin (0.1 IP, 1 H, 3 ER, 2 BB)
Luke Belanger's POTG - Tishawn Featherstone (3 H, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R)
