HAYNES' THREE HITS NOT ENOUGH AS CORNELL EDGES BASEBALL, 7-5

SYRACUSE, NY - Three hits and two runs batted in by junior catcher Chris Haynes (Manlius, NY / Fayetteville-Manlius) was not enough as the Cornell Big Red edged the Dolphins 7-5 on Tuesday at Dick Rockwell Field. The win pushes Cornell to 9-17 while the loss drops Le Moyne to 10-17.

Both teams posted one run in the opening frame. Cornell used a Dolphin error to start a two-out rally and plated the game's first run on an RBI single to centerfield from Mickey Brodsky. 

Le Moyne counter-punched in the bottom half of the inning as pre-season All-American Chris Edmondson (Johnson City, NY / Johnson City) connected for his sixth double of the season and scored on an RBI single by Haynes.

The Big Red regained the lead in the top half of the third. After a walk to Nathan Ford, Brodsky looped a ball to right field and moved to third after a collision by two Dolphins, allowing Ford to score from first.  Cornell added one more run in the fifth inning as Brandon Lee deposited freshman Derek Zielinski's (Schenectady, NY / Colonie) first pitch of the inning over the left field wall.

Haynes added a run scoring single in the bottom half of the inning plating fellow senior Matt Nandin (North Syracuse, NY / CNS) to trim the lead to 3-2. The Dolphins tied the game in their half of the sixth and pinch hitter Dan Sisto (Liverpool, NY / CBA) shot a ball through the right side to score Matt Marra (Brewerton, NY / Central Square) and knot the game at 3-3.

In the seventh, Cornell put three runs on the board highlighted by Nathan Ford's two-run triple down the right field line and Brodsky's RBI double into the left field gap.

Le Moyne once again rallied in the bottom of the eighth as Rich Brown (Vestal, NY / Vestal) and Mara connected for back-to-back home runs over the left field wall to pull within one run at 6-5.  Cornell's Stephen Osterer entered the game and closed the door on the Dolphins with 1.2 innings of scoreless relief to earn his first save of the season.

Le Moyne returns to action on Wednesday as they travel to face the University at Buffalo at 4:00 p.m.
