In game two, the Dutchmen loaded the bases with one out in the top of the first. Carson Strang (Shaker Heights, OH/Shaker Heights) flied out to Dave Kloc (Pittsford, NY/Pittsford Mendon) in center. Adam Chused (Concord, MA/Concord-Carlisle) tried to tag at third and was thrown out at the plate.
The teams play a doubleheader again on Sunday, this time at RIT because Rochester is hosting a 10-team track meet at Fauver Stadium (adjacent to Towers Field). The first game starts at Noon.
