Auburndale, FL – The SUNY Canton baseball team struggled to get the bats going in a 11-0 loss to Fontbonne University on Monday morning in Auburndale.
 
The Roos (2-3) received four hits in the game, one each from Wilson Matos (Brooklyn, NY), Jeremy Baez (Bronx, NY), Derrick Machado(Brooklyn, NY) and Chris Jones (Deerfield Beach, FL).
 
Robbie Osterer (Ottawa, ON) got the start on the mound throwing five and one-third innings striking out 11 batters, while giving up five earned runs. Juan Rosa (Naguabo, Puerto Rico) and Jake St. Mary(Brushton, NY) saw time in relief.

The game was tight most of the way as Fontbonne scored once in the first as a run was walked in. The game remained just a one score game until the Griffins erupted for a six run sixth inning to break things open. Fontbonne would add two runs each in the seventh and eighth innings resulting in the run rule after eight innings of play.
 
Jacob Wilson led the way for the Griffins with 3 RBIs, while Zach Carel plated two. Cale Laughlin earned the victory on the mound for Fontbonne, while Osterer picked up the loss.
 
The Roos are back in action on Tuesday for a single nine inning game against Fitchburg State College scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Stay up to date with the latest news directly from the SUNY Canton Athletics department by "liking" us on Facebook and "following" our Twitter, Instagram and YouTube accounts.
