Baseball Moves on in Liberty League Tournament with 7-5 Win over Clarkson

ITHACA, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team overcame a 5-2 deficit against Clarkson University in the second game of the Liberty League Championship and scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull off a 7-5 victory at Freeman Field. The Bombers are now 28-12 on the season and meet up with Rochester tomorrow at 1 p.m. RIT and Clarkson play in an elimination game at 10 a.m.

Connor Pedersen staked the Bombers to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with a double to left field that brought home Louis Fabbo and Nicholas Cutaia. Pedersen would be thrown out trying to advance to third base, but the damage was done. Fabbo reached on a base hit to center and Cutaia walked.

Clarkson got on the board in the top of the third inning and tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI double and sacrifice fly. The Golden Knights led off with a walk and base hit, then a double from Colby Brouillette brought in the first run. Mike Nee tied the game with a sac fly to center.

The Golden Knights took a 3-2 lead in the fourth on a fielder's choice off the bat of Michael Tito with runners on the corners.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Bombers loaded the bases with one out behind a single from Cutaia, a walk to Pedersen and hit by pitch to Matt Fabian, but IC was unable to bring a run home.

Clarkson added two runs to its lead in the fifth as a base hit through the right side of the infield from Joe Pagano, and then Sean Eddington blooped in a single to right-center to give the Golden Knights a 5-2 edge. An error earlier in the inning prolonged Clarkson' at bat.

The Bombers regained the lead, 7-5, in the bottom of the sixth with five runs on three hits for the eventual final score. The big blow of the inning was a two-run triple to right-center off the bat of Ethan Rothstein to put IC up 6-5. Prior to that, Pedersen plated Buzz Shirley with a single through the right side and then Fabian ripped a single to center to score Cutaia. After the Rothstein triple, Riley Brawdy extended IC's lead with a sac fly to right.

Pedersen drove in three runs on two hits, while Cutaia scored and walked twice. Rothstein also picked up two hits with two RBI in the win.
