CLINTON, NY – The RIT baseball team (12-13) suffered a 6-2 loss at Hamilton College (13-12) in non-league action from Loop Road Baseball/Softball Complex Wednesday afternoon.

Ian Humes (Hockessin, DE/Shipley School), Navada Waterman (Coudersport, PA/Coudersport) and Daniel Capra (North Salem, NY/North Salem) walked in succession with one out, before Joey Mylott (Aurora, OH/Western Reserve Academy) was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run to put RIT on the board. Daniel Zeglen (Scotia, NY/Scotia-Glenville) would hit a sacrifice fly to center field to drive in the second RIT run.
