GAME ONE: Ithaca 7, St. Lawrence 6

Ithaca took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a double down the left field line by Matt Curtis, driving home Mike Nauta from second base. Nauta led off the inning with a walk and stole second to move into scoring position.

IC's lead increased to 3-0 in the bottom of the third as Riley Brawdy led off with a no-doubt solo home run to right field and Ethan Rothstein followed with an RBI single a few batters later to drive home Curtis, who reached on his second double of the game.

The Bombers plated two more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to push their advantage out to 5-0. Garrett Callaghan drove in the first run with a double that snuck just inside the first base bag and rolled into the corner as Nauta, who reached on an infield base hit, scored from third. Curtis then blooped a single into centerfield and Callaghan came home.

St. Lawrence got back into the game with three runs on three hits in the top of the fifth inning to make it a 5-3 contest. A triple to center brought home the first run and then an RBI bloop double to right pushed in another run. A passed ball allowed the third run to score.

IC quickly got a run back in the bottom of the fifth on a lead off homer from Ryan Laubscher to left field.

The Saints tied the game, 6-6, in the top of the sixth inning with an RBI double, followed by a two-run single. Those three runs knocked Kyle Lambert, whose final line was 5.2 innings pitched with eight strikeouts.

Ithaca regained the lead, 7-6, in the bottom of the sixth on a no-doubt lead off homer by Louis Fabbo to left field, which ended up being the game-winning hit.

Matt Chase earned the win in relief as he struck out three in 1.1 innings of work.

IC produced 11 hits in the win, including seven for extra bases. Curtis was 3-for-4 with two doubles, while Callaghan was 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles. Fabbo also had two hits in the game, while Nauta stole two bases.
