Reichel, LeFevre lead Saints baseball in tripleheader sweep of Roos

Posted

Adam Reichel's six-RBI day and Michael LeFevre's walk-off two-RBI single in the final game of a rare tripleheader helped Saints baseball to a sweep of SUNY Canton on Sunday evening. The Saints took four of five contests from the Roos this weekend and improve to 12-9 overall on the season, while SUNY Canton drops to 6-17.

In game one, Alex Dermody weathered a rocky first inning in which he surrendered four of the eight hits he allowed and all three runs and went on to earn his third win of the season, shutting the Roos out over the final six innings.

Canton, playing as the home team in the first two games Sunday, received a run-scoring single from Jeremy Baez, an RBI grounder from Brandon Welch and a run-scoring single from Nicolas Demarais in the bottom of the first, but Dermody did not allow more than one hit in an inning the rest of the way and finished with three walks and five strikeouts for the win.

The Saints tied the game in the top of the second on two errors and Mic Regan's run-producing single and went up 7-3 in the top of the third when Adam Reichel delivered a towering grand slam home run to right field. Mike LeFevre scored on a balk in the top of the fifth and Kyle MacDonald singled home Mark Syron in the top of the seventh for the 9-3 final.

The Saints snapped a 1-1 tie with a five-run fifth in game two and rode Andrew Schreyack's four-hitter to a 9-1 win. Schreyack allowed one run, walked one and struck out one in six innings while Matt Phelan allowed a single in a scoreless seventh in relief.

Syron's sacrifice fly plated Chris Fernandez, who had led off with a double in the first inning, but Baez delivered the tying run with a ground out in the bottom of the fourth. Doubles by Syron and Kyle Liszewski brought in three runs, MacDonald's fielder's choice plated a fourth and Reichel tripled down the right field line in the big top of the fifth.

The Saints added three more when Fernandez scored on MacDonald's ground out and Erik Larsen stroked a two-run single through the infield in the top of the sixth for the 9-1 final.

In the last game of the day SUNY Canton built a 2-0 lead on sacrifice flies in the fourth and seventh and was held to five hits by starting pitcher Jake Farrell, who also struck out six. Liam Rogers faced one batter in a third of an inning and was the pitcher of record for St. Lawrence.

Trailing 2-0 and with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, senior Chris Fernandez doubled to right field to start the rally. An Isaac Lewis single put runners on the corners for Syron, who was intentionally walked after a passed ball allowed Fernandez to score and moved Lewis to second. Schreyack won a battle with Roos pitcher Derek Harkin to earn a walk of his own to load the bases for LeFevre.

The first-year student drilled a singled to the base of the wall in left center that plated Lewis and Syron to win the game and clinch the sweep for the Saints. LeFevre is currently leading St. Lawrence in batting average and is the only player above .400 at .464 in 18 games played.

The Saints will play host to Oswego State for a single game on Wednesday, April 15 with the first pitch scheduled for 4:15 p.m.
