PATCHOGUE, NY (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) -The SUNY College at Old Westbury baseball team closed out a three-game series with the Bates Bobcats on Sunday afternoon, losing a 7-2 decision at Gregg Alfano Field.  The loss sent Old Westbury's record to 2-11 on the season as Bates improved to 4-6. 


Jacob Coners set the Panthers' table in the fourth inning with a single that put Old Westbury in the hit column.  Nick Yipfollowed with a single and John Angelino broke the scoring ice with a two-run double to give Old Westbury its first lead of the game.  Bates answered in the fifth with a Jeff Gunn leadoff single, and two batters later, Brenden Fox lifted a sacrifice fly out to left, scoring Gunn to slice Old Westbury's lead in half. 

Bates then scored four runs on four hits in the seventh inning to jump ahead, 5-2.  Gunn stroked an RBI single to start the seventh inning scoring and four batters later scored when Samuel Berry was hit by starter Frank DiMaria's pitch with the bases loaded.  The next batter Griff Tewksbury, delivered a two-run single to give Bates a three run lead. 

Old Westbury threatened in the seventh with the bases loaded, but failed to deliver as Yip grounded to a force out at second to end the inning.  Bates tacked on solo runs in the next two innings off reliever James Wipperman to earn the 7-2 victory.
