CORTLAND, N.Y. – Will McCarthy (Farmingdale) and three relievers combined on a two-hit shutout as Cortland defeated the University of Rochester, 7-0, in non-league baseball action at Wallace Field. Cortland won its 11th straight game to improve to 16-7 and the Yellowjackets had a four-game winning streak snapped and are now 12-8.
 
McCarthy, the first in a predetermined pitching alignment for the Red Dragons, earned the win after allowing one hit and fanning one batter in four innings. He's 4-0 on the season. Bradley Battaglini (West Islip) retired all six batters he faced, one by strikeout, over the fifth and sixth innings. Shane Van Dam (Cranford, NJ) gave up one hit in an inning and a third and Liam Krasney (Earlton/Greenville) was perfect over the final inning and two thirds. Cortland pitching faced only two batters over the minimum in the contest, which concluded in a brisk hour and 41 minutes.
 
Rochester used seven pitchers in the game. Sammy Rosenfield started and retired the side in order in the first. Matt Casiero allowed an unearned run in the second and took the loss.
 
Dylan Tierney (East Greenbush/Columbia) went 3-for-4 and Mat Bruno (Rye) was 2-for-4 with two runs scored to account for five of Cortland's nine hits. Nick Chemotti (Warners/West Genesee) hit his first career homer, and Chris Bonacci (Syracuse/West Genesee), Kameron Hartenstein (Meriden, CT/Maloney) and Andrew Michalski (Buffalo/St. Francis) each finished 1-for-3 with an RBI.
 
Bruno reached third on a dropped fly ball in the second and scored three batters later on Tierney's RBI infield single. Hartenstein doubled in a run and eventually scored on a wild pitch in the fourth to make it 3-0, and Chemotti hit a two-run homer just inside the right field foul pole in the fifth to extend the lead to 5-0. Cortland's final two runs came on a Michalski RBI single and a Bonacci sac fly in the sixth.
 
Luke Gregory doubled to lead off the third for Rochester but was thrown out at third base two batters later on a fielder's choice grounder back to McCarthy. In the seventh, Joseph Rende was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning and Jackson Reed reached on an infield single, but Cortland escaped the jam with a lineout to left and a double play grounder.
