Canton, NY – The SUNY Canton baseball team received four hits from Wilson Matos and a strong pitching performance from Robbie Osterer (Ottawa, ON) to earn a split with host St. Lawrence University on Saturday. The Roos (6-14) took the opening game 8-3 before the Saints (9-9) claimed a 4-0 victory in the nightcap.
Game 1
The Roos got on the board first in the top of the third when Matos drove in Jesse Barton (Belle Glade, FL) on a sacrifice fly to right field. The Saints took a 2-1 lead on a 2 RBI single in the bottom half of the inning.
SUNY Canton responded with four runs in the top half of the fourth. Christian Nazario-Cruz (Naguabo, Puerto Rico) reached on an error scoring Nicolas Demarais (Plattsburgh, NY). Matos used a base hit to left center to plate Nazario-Cruz and Greg Dobies (Schenectady, NY). Seth Douglas (Reedsburg, WI) followed with an RBI on an infield single to short.
St. Lawrence got one run back in the bottom of the fifth, but the Roos continued to flash hot bats adding one run in the sixth and two more in the seventh. Dobies used an RBI single to bring home Chris Jones (Deerfield Beach, FL) in the sixth. Jeremy Baez (Bronx, NY) and Brandon Welch (Constable, NY) each had an RBI in the seventh.
