BSB: LAFAYETTE HAND DOLPHINS 3-2 DEFEAT IN SERIES
FINALE.
SYRACUSE, NY – Lafayette’s Rob Froio connected for two
hits, drove in a run and scored once to lead the Leopards to a 3-2
victory in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Dick Rockwell
Field. Despite taking the first two games of the series on
Saturday, Le Moyne falls to 20-21 on the season. Lafayette improves
to 22-25 on the year.
Both teams recorded runs in the first inning. Froio opened the game
wit a single to left field. After moving over on a wild pitch, he
scored on an RBI single by A.J. Pisarri. Le Moyne responded in
their first at-bat. Freshman Brett Botsford (Baldwinsville,
NY / Baldwinsville) reached on an infield single and stole
second to move into scoring position. Following a walk to
Chris Haynes (Manlius, NY / Fayetteville-Manlius),
junior Chris Edmondson (Johnson City, NY / Johnson
City) tied the game at 1-1 with an RBI single.
Following two scoreless innings, Lafayette got on the board in the
fourth inning on a solo home run to right field by Jeff Butler. The
Leopards got one more run in the seventh on an RBI single by Froio
to push the lead to 3-1.
Le Moyne rallied in their last at-bat. With two outs, Rich
Brown (Vestal, NY / Vestal) reached on an infield single.
Brown came around to score on a double down the right field line by
Don Schaff (Middle Island, NY / Longwood) to cut the lead in half
at 3-2. Lafayette’s Ian Dickson entered the game with two
outs and retired Chris Murphy (Laurel Hollow, NY / St.
Dominic's) on a screaming line drive to second to earn the
save.
Jeremy Atkins picked up his third win of the season going six
innings, allowing one run on three hits and striking our four. Le
Moyne’s Brandon Otto (Cicero, NY / CNS)
picked up the defeat despite a solid effort on the hill. Otto
allowed two earned runs over six innings of work.
Le Moyne returns to action on Tuesday, May 5th as they host Albany
at 4:00 PM at Dick Rockwell Field.
