Baseball falls to Oneonta in final non-conference contest

BOX SCORE


ONEONTA, N.Y. - The Oneonta State baseball team entertained Union College today in its final regular season game of the 2012 season.  The Red Dragons collected 12 hits en route to an 8-5 win in its final game prior to beginning play in the SUNYAC tournament this weekend at SUNY Cortland. The Dutchmen will compete in their final Liberty League contests this weekend against Skidmore.

After 3-1/2 scoreless innings, Oneonta (17-19) broke the game open with five runs in the home half of the fourth inning.  A pair of walks to Eric Wells and Tory Bouyea started the inning for the Red Dragons.  Catcher Chris Massaroni who executed a sacrifice bunt perfectly moved both players into scoring position.

After Union recorded the second out, senior Cody Hitt hit a ball deep into the hole, which he beat out for a single, which scored Wells.  Another walk loaded the bases for senior Ivan Plata, who singled down the left field line to drive in Bouyea and Hitt.  Freshman Charlie MacDowell then hit a double to deep left field that drove in Rob Peluso and Plata.

Oneonta added a single run in the fifth inning before scoring a pair of runs in the sixth inning to take an 8-1 lead.

Union (15-17) rallied in the ninth inning before junior Jim Hegmann recorded the final out of the game with runners at first and second.  Freshman Malcolm Kelly hit a one-out double to left center to get things started for the Dutchmen.  Senior Nick Ranalli then walked and was followed with a single by junior Dylan Katz-Wicks that loaded the bases for leading hitter junior Tyler Heck.  Heck drilled a double to the gap in left center that scored a pair.

 An infield single by sophomore David Peretti scored Katz-Wicks from third and gave Union runners at the corners.  Oneonta made the move to Hegmann, who struck out junior Dom Calistro on three pitches to end the game.

 Oneonta used six pitchers in the game with the win going to freshman Jarred Bronley, who pitched a scoreless third and fourth inning while striking out one batter.

 Sophomore Andrew Beaule took the loss for Union today.  Beaule was touched up for five earned runs in his four innings as the starter for the Dutchmen.

Union will face Skidmore at home on Saturday, May 5th, at noon.
