Baseball Falls to Swarthmore, 7-6, in South Carolina Finale

LEXINGTON, S.C. – The Ithaca College baseball team wrapped up its trip to South Carolina on Wednesday with a 7-6 loss to Swarthmore College and now heads to Marietta, Ohio with a 6-4 overall record. The Bombers will play three games in Ohio before returning to New York.

The Bombers led for most of the game and carried a 4-0 advantage into the top of the sixth inning. Swarthmore then plated two runs in the sixth and captured the lead in the top of the ninth with five runs. IC scored twice in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out, two-run home run by Collin Feeney, but a fly out on the next at bat ended the game.

IC took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly by Camden Laney with Feeney on base and then the Bombers plated another run in the third on an RBI groundout by Connor Pedersen to bring in Feeney once again for a 2-0 edge.

In the fifth inning, Pedersen singled in Colin Dunn to make it 3-0 and then Laney notched another sac fly to plate Feeney for a 4-0 advantage. Swarthmore got on the board in the sixth on an RBI single and passed ball to make it 4-2.

Swarthmore pushed home five runs on three hits in the ninth to take a 7-4 lead. The Garnet started the inning with a walk, hit by pitch and single to load the bases. A double from the next batter brought in two runs to tie the game at 4-4. After a pitching change, a base hit gave Swarthmore the lead and a bases loaded hit by pitch made it 6-4. The final run of the inning came home on a wild pitch.

IC's ninth inning rally attempt started with an error, but a groundout and fly out put the Bombers' backs against the wall. Feeney scored his fourth run of the contest on his two-run blast for the 7-6 final score.

Ethan Murley started the game for IC and struck out five batters over 4.0 innings as he allowed just one hit. Danny Drotos tallied the next 3.0 innings of relief and gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits. John Griffin took the loss, while Ethan Fantel and Luke Zelinko also saw action on the mound.

The Bombers will play a doubleheader against Johnson & Wales and Marietta on Friday and then a single game against Spalding on Saturday.
