Defending the 'Wig

A great day at Ludwig Field. We took two from Oneonta -- 3-1 and 6-1. Game one saw Lars pick up his first SUNYAC win of the season. Five innings before giving way to the Big Guy Zach Jordan who finished with the save.

The start of the game was under slick conditions. We put up three in the first two innings before their starter (Tyson) settled in. The lefties continued to produce with Fetes, Greco and Sheehan providing some clutch AB's. Very good D helped.

Lars battled all day, but avoided big mistakes.

Game two started under ideal conditions. Absolutely no wind -- a first at the Wig -- but finished under slick conditions. Rammy spun a nice CG. 142 pitches, but we extended him with our next conference game for him at least 9 days away. He only gave up a few hits and we let him roll. A nine-inning CG from a lefty. Haven't seen that since Ricky Carlson did it every week.

We hung around with a 1-1 game until the bottom of the eighth. Lowe led off with a rope. In a bunt situation, Sheehan roped a ball of a charging infield. Following an IBB, we got and infield error on the throw home, a walk to Fos, and a few more good at bats to put it away.

Hugg got up in the pen about five times, but couldn't work into the game. Soon.

Nice to win two after a less-than-impressive game at Behrend. A couple runs in the first of Game 1 set the tone and kept us in the game.

The Hammer was split between Sheehan and Rammy. Sheehan had a bunch of hits and threw a runner out at second after backing up an overthrow at first base.

We'll look to Ace on Sunday to close things out. Work fast, change speeds, throw strikes.
