ONEONTA, NY- Freshman David Strandberg threw the second recorded no-hitter in the University of Rochester's baseball history on Sunday April 13, helping the Yellowjackets to a two game sweep of Liberty League opponent Bard College on Sunday.
 
Rochester (14-12, 10-6 Liberty League) won game one by an 11-2 score and captured game two in a rout, winning 18-0.  Bard drops to 3-14-1 overall and 0-8-1 in league play.
 
Strandberg pitched seven innings of hitless ball, allowing two runs in the fifth off three walks and a wild pitch.  He ended the day with six free passes and four strikeouts and earns his first collegiate victory.  The no-hit bid is Rochester's first confirmed feat since Bill Standera didn't allow a hit in a 1-0 victory over St. Bonaventure University in 1971.
 
At the plate, jumped out to an early lead with five runs in the first inning.  Junior Brendan Garry drew a bases loaded walk and that followed by a 2-RBI double from sophomore Lance Hamilton and another 2-RBI hit from classmate Brian Munoz.
 
In the fourth, UR tacked on four more runs on three bases loaded walks and a Nolan Schultz sac fly.  Overall, Rochester drew eight walks in game one off the Raptor pitching staff.  In game one, every UR starter recorded a run scored and seven of the nine earned an RBI.
 
It was more of the same for UR in game two as the Yellowjacket offense exploded in a 18-0 victory, completing the weekend 4-game sweep at Damaschke Field.
 
Rochester scored one run in the first when Josh Ludwig scored on a fielding error by the Raptors.  In the second, the Yellowjackets sent 14 men to the plate in an 8-run frame.  Munoz, Garry and Tyler DeClerck all had RBI doubles in the inning and Ludwig added a two-run single as well.
 
On the mound, sophomore Matt Todd was outstanding, throwing seven innings of two-hit ball while only issuing two walks and striking out six batters.  Sophomore Andrew Crean allowed one hit in two innings of work to close out the game while also fanning four batters.
 
The score remained 9-0 until the 'Jackets tacked on nine more runs in the seventh.  Sophomore Dan Warren had two separate RBI singles in the inning while Ludwig had another RBI base hit and freshman Will Conroy added a sacrifice fly.
 
The Yellowjackets next game is scheduled for Tuesday at Ithaca College at 4 pm.  The next Liberty League contest for UR is when they host Vassar in doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday.
