Ithaca Baseball Walks-off in 11 Over St. Lawrence

Box Score SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team walked-off with a 5-4 victory in 11 innings against St. Lawrence on Wednesday evening at Onondaga Community College. Ithaca is now 15-13 on the season with three games left on the schedule.

Ithaca came away with the win a single and throwing error. With runners on first and second, junior Stephen Yachus notched a base hit to centerfield, which St. Lawrence's outfielder made a diving catch on, but the ball trickled out of his glove. Senior Christian Brown, who was on second, took off for third and an errant throw allowed Brown to come home for the game-winning run.

St. Lawrence plated the game's opening run on a double to left-centerfield that scored a runner from first in the top of the second inning with no outs.

The Saints lead grew to 2-0 on another double that rolled to the right-center wall in the fourth with a runner on first. Another run crossed for St. Lawrence in the fifth after a stolen base scored on a single up the middle. A pair of throwing errors by the Bombers led to another run for St. Lawrence in the seventh inning to make it a 4-0 game.

In the bottom of the sixth, junior Zach Cole reached on a one-out double that got lost in the lights and then senior Brian Burns followed with a single. Burns attempted to steal, but was thrown out during a strikeout to end the inning.

The Bombers got on the board in the bottom of the eight on back-to-back doubles from sophomore Trevor Thompson and Yanchus. Thompson doubled down the right field line and Yanchus brought him in on a drive down the left field line. St. Lawrence's lead was cut in half, 4-2, on an RBI single from Cole that scored Yanchus on the next at bat. Freshman Domenic Boresta stepped to the plate next and stroked a triple to the right-center gap which plated freshman pinch runner Ryan Dougherty. Ithaca knotted the game up at 4-4 as Boresta scored on a base hit from senior Matt Connolly after a pitching change.

Ithaca had a chance to end the game in the bottom of the ninth after the bases were loaded on walks, but the final out was retired on a strikeout looking to force extra innings.

Senior Andrew Sanders started on the mound for Ithaca and gave up one run on three hits. Junior Benji Parkes threw the next three innings and struck out two, while allowing four hits and two runs.

Senior Jimmy Wagner fired five innings in a winning effort with three strikeouts.

The Bombers play three games against Stevens this weekend to wrap up regular season play before the Empire 8 Conference Tournament on May 7-9.
