AURORA, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team improved to 21-14 on the season with a 6-3 non-conference victory over St. Lawrence University on Wednesday evening at Wells College. Ithaca produced five extra base hits in the win.

The Bombers wasted no time taking the lead as junior Josh Savacool and freshman Webb Little led off the bottom of the first with back-to-back doubles. After the RBI double from W. Little, he moved up to third on a fly out and came home on a single by freshman Sam Little to give Ithaca a 2-0 advantage.

Sophomore Domenic Boresta gave Ithaca a 3-0 cushion in the second inning on an inside-the-park home run down the leftfield line. On the play, St. Lawrence's leftfielder and shortstop collided, which allowed the ball to roll away into foul territory, and no Saints' fielder could get to the ball before Boresta scored.

St. Lawrence got on the board in the top of the fifth on an infield single to cut the difference down to 3-1, but Ithaca answered in the bottom half of the inning with a deep two-run homer from junior Trevor Thompson down the leftfield line with W. Little on base.

The Saints would get back to within a 5-3 deficit on solo round-trippers in the sixth and eighth innings, but Ithaca re-established a three-run lead, 6-3, on a sac fly off the bat of senior Zach Cole in the bottom of the eighth for the final run of the game.

 Junior Ryan Dougherty scored as he found his way to third on a walk, stolen base and wild pitch.

Sophomore Tyler Hill closed out the contest with a perfect ninth inning for his first save of the season. Hill went four innings in relief and gave up two runs on five hits with six strikeouts.

Senior Benji Parkes earned his sixth win of the season in five innings pitched. Parkes allowed four hits and one earned run with a strikeout, and needed just 55 pitches in the winning effort.

Savacool went 3-for-5 at the plate with a run scored and stolen base, while W. Little collected two hits in four at bats with two runs scored. S. Little walked twice with a base hit in two trips to the plate.

Ithaca hosts Elmira on Saturday for an Empire 8 Conference doubleheader at 12 p.m. and then wraps up the regular season at St. John Fisher on Sunday.
