Baseball earns 6-3 win at The College of Brockport

BROCKPORT, NY – The RIT baseball team (15-13) defeated The College of Brockport (15-17), 6-3 from the Clark V. Whited Complex on Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers have now won three straight games.

The Tigers jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the second inning and never trailed. RIT led the game off with back-to-back singles from Navada Waterman (Coudersport, PA/Coudersport) and Daniel Capra (North Salem, NY/North Salem). Patrick Blackall (Hershey, PA/Hershey) would get the Tigers on the board by reaching safely on a fielder's choice, which scored Waterman. Later in the inning, Luke McNamara (Harrisburg, PA/Central Dauphin) would ground out to the shortstop, scoring Blackall to give RIT a 2-0 lead after one inning of play.

In the top of the second, the Tigers again would lead off the inning with back-to-back singles from Jason Schulz (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool) and Kyle Terzini (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool). Waterman doubled to right field scoring Schulz and Dan Zeglen flew out to centerfield, plating Terzini, extending the Tigers lead to 4-0 after two.

Brockport would answer in the bottom of the second. Aaron Cook reached safely off of a bunt followed by a Daniel DelGaizo walk. They would both score off of a RIT error. In the sixth inning, Anthony Eaton doubled to left field to put himself in scoring position. He would score after Justin Valentino doubled down the left field line to cut the Tigers lead to 4-3.

In the top of seventh inning, Schulz would come up big with two insurance runs as he singled to right-center, scoring both Joey Mylott (Aurora, OH/Western Reserve Academy) and Patrick Mylott (Aurora, OH/Western Reserve Academy) to extend RIT's lead to 6-3.

The Tigers threw eight different pitchers in the game. Trevor Povlock (Fairport, NY/Fairport) got the start and recorded the win, striking out the side in the opening frame. RIT allowed two earned runs off of six hits and three walks. Capra closed out the game to earn his his first save of the season.
