Bombers Pitch Fourth Shutout of the Year, Blanking Oswego 6-0

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Ithaca College baseball team (9-3), ranked 20th by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), won for the fifth time in six games, beating visiting Oswego (5-9) 6-0 Sunday. The Bombers, who held Keuka scoreless in Friday's 14-0 win, have posted consecutive nine-inning shutouts for the first time singe whitewashing Rochester Institute of Technology and Colgate on May 16 and 18, 1974.

Junior Pat Lemmo raised his record to 4-0, blanking the Lakers over seven innings. He struck out four batters and allowed only six hits and a pair of walks. Freshman Quinn Irwin and senior Tucker Healy closed out Ithaca's fourth shutout of the season. The Bombers already have as many complete-game shutouts over the season's first 12 games as they compiled during the 2010 and 2011 seasons combined.

Senior center fielder Mike Rosenbaum led Ithaca's offense with two hits, two runs scored and two driven in. His RBI total came on his first career home run, a two-run shot that followed a leadoff walk to sophomore shortstop Tim Locastro in the bottom of the first.

Locastro hit a sacrifice fly to put the Bombers up 3-0 in the second, then scored the team's final run in the seventh. He led off the inning with a triple to straightaway center field and came home two batters later on a sacrifice fly by senior second baseman Matt Keller.

Ithaca took advantage of a pair of Laker misplays to score twice in the fifth inning. Rosenbaum singled with one out, stole second and beat a throw to third on an infield grounder off the bat of Keller. A wild pitch brought Rosenbaum home and sent to Keller to second. Senior first baseman Teagen Barresi grounded out to third; Keller took third on the throw to first and scored when the return throw went into left field.

Locastro, Barresi and freshman left fielder Christian Brown each had two of Ithaca's 11 hits.

Lemmo lowered his season ERA to 1.74; Ithaca's team mark is 2.29.

The Bombers host Cortland, ranked eighth by the ABCA and 16th by D3baseball.com, Wednesday at Freeman Field.
