OSWEGO, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team improved to 18-11 on the season with a dominant, 12-4, victory at Oswego on April 18. Ithaca has now eclipsed 10-plus runs in 12 games this season.

Oswego got on the board first in its first trip to the plate with a base hit in center field, but it was all Bombers from there, as IC plated 11 of its 12 runs between the third and seventh innings.

In the top of the third, the Bombers tied the game on a dropped third strike that allowed Ethan Rothstein to score after a throwing error.

Ithaca tacked on two more runs in the fourth inning as a Gil Merod single resulted in the first run after an error allowed Riley Brawdy to score. After that, Collin Feeney drove home Merod with a base hit to right to make it a 3-1 game.

Colin Shashaty extended IC's lead to 4-1 in the fifth with an RBI single through the left side, plating Garrett Callaghan, and then Ryan Laubscher drove in Shashaty with an infield base hit. Merod drove in the sixth run of the game for the Bombers with an opposite field single to bring home Laubscher.

Oswego belted a lead off solo home run in the bottom of the fifth, but the Bombers plated three more runs in the top of the sixth to push their lead to 9-2. Shashaty drove in two more with a base hit to left and then Brawdy earned an RBI with a sacrifice fly.

In the seventh, IC scored two more runs on a bases loaded hit by pitch and passed ball to balloon the difference to 11-3.

A triple from Shashaty in the top of the ninth capped off the game as David Cifonelli scored.

Shashaty went 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored, while Merod and Rothstein also produced three hits in the win.

Jack Colyer stuck out four in 3.1 innings, while Dan Kellachan fanned three in 2.2 innings of relief. Landon White and John Griffin finished up the game with 3.0 combined innings out of the bullpen.

Ithaca will head to Clarkson this weekend for a three-game series.
