Doubleheader Split For 25th-Ranked Ithaca Baseball At 13th-Ranked Fisher

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The 25th-ranked Ithaca College baseball team split a doubleheader Friday in a matchup of nationally-ranked teams at 13th-ranked St. John Fisher. Ithaca used a seven-run rally to take the opener 7-2 and dropped the second game of the afternoon by a 3-2 score. The same teams will meet again Saturday in a doubleheader at Dugan Yard beginning at 1 p.m.
 
#25 ITHACA 7, #13 ST. JOHN FISHER 2
 
Ithaca scored all seven of its runs in the top of the sixth inning to get the win in the first game of a doubleheader. The big inning started with a leadoff single from Tim Henry. After a strikeout, Brian Burns walked and Matt Connolly singled to bring in Henry. Connolly and pinch-runner Cameron Oathout moved up to second and third on the play due to an outfield error. Luke Stark singled to tie the score, bringing in Oathout.
 
After Stark stole second, Josh Savacool was intentionally walked and Cooper Belyea followed with a three-run double to give Ithaca a 5-2 lead. With two outs in the inning, John Stanley doubled to bring in Belyea and later scored on a Fisher error.
 
St. John Fisher scored two in the bottom of the first off of Ithaca starter John Prendergast, but that was all they mustered as Prendergast picked up the complete-game victory. In seven innings, he allowed eight hits. Prendergast struck out six batters and didn't walk any. He is 8-0 on the season.
 
Stark and Belyea led the Ithaca lineup with two hits each. Seven different players crossed the plate in the big inning. It was the second time this season that Ithaca has scored seven runs in an inning, also achieved March 12 in the fourth inning of a 16-5 win at Occidental.
 
#13 ST. JOHN FISHER 3, #25 ITHACA 2
 
In the second game, Ithaca took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third on a bases-loaded single by Tim Henry that brought home Cooper Belyea and Christian Brown. Fisher answered with a run in the bottom of the third and added two more runs in the fifth on two sacrifice flies.
 
Brown had a pair of singles for Ithaca and Henry, Luke Stark, Josh Savacool and Belyea had one hit each. All of Ithaca's six hits in the game were singles.
 
Benji Parkes (2-3) started for Ithaca and pitched into the sixth inning. He allowed three runs, all earned, on 10 hits with one walk and one strikeout. Logan Barer pitched the final two and two-thirds innings and allowed two hits with one strikeout.
