Six-Run Lead Slips Away as Baseball Loses at RIT, 10-9

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team dropped the final game of a three-game Liberty League series at RIT on Sunday by a score of 10-9. Ithaca is 13-10 on the season and 6-3 in the Liberty League.

The Bombers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a two-out single up the middle by Matt Curtis that brought in Ethan Fantel. Camden Laney then ripped a double down the left field line to plate Connor Pedersen to extend the lead to 2-0.

IC tacked on two more runs in the top of the second inning on a two-run single by Ethan Daddabbo that pushed home Ryan Laubscher and Collin Feeney. In the third inning, Laney led off with a solo home run and Logan Scully followed with a double and came around to score after back-to-back fly outs, the second of which from Riley Brawdy for the RBI sacrifice.

After RIT got on the board in the bottom of the third, the Bombers got that run back in the fourth on a bases loaded walk to Scully to make it 7-1. The Tigers got back into the game in the bottom half of the fifth as four straight hits led to three runs and the end of Colin Leyner's outing at 7-4 with no one out.

John Griffin entered with runners on the corners and quickly allowed a run on a wild pitch. A walk and single loaded the bases to set up a sac fly and an infield base hit that led to run down tied the game at 7-7 after IC was unable to record an out. The Tigers then took the lead at 8-7 on a single to right and IC went to the bullpen again. Jack Colyer got out of the jam with an inning-ending double play.

Connor Pedersen led off the sixth with a double and pinch runner Colin Dunn scored on a base hit by Matt Curtis to knot the game at 8-8 and then IC regained the lead at 9-8 on an RBI pinch hit single by Tyler Pugliese in the seventh.

RIT jumped back in front in the bottom of the seventh, 10-9, as two IC errors brought in one run and a double steal pushed another run across. The Bombers had a chance to tie things up in the eighth as Curtis led off with a double but was thrown out trying to leg out a triple and IC produced two more hits after that but could not score.

Ithaca is back in action on Tuesday at Hamilton and then travels to Skidmore and RPI over the weekend for a pair of doubleheaders.
