FORT MYERS, Fla. – The State University of New York at New Paltz baseball team (6-4) kicked off play at the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic on Friday afternoon and swept Gettysburg College (6-3) by scores of 4-0 and 6-4 in a doubleheader. Both of these non-conference games were seven innings in duration.

In game one, sophomore Andrew Grann (Oceanside, N.Y./Oceanside) threw a complete game and earned the win, striking out six batters en route to the team's second shutout victory of the season. Senior Chris Paulicelli (Lindenhurst, N.Y./Lindenhurst) went 2-for-3 with two runs scored to lead the Hawk attack, while juniors Matt Prescia (Oakdale, N.Y./Connetquot) and Matt Carr (Westbury, N.Y./Long Island Lutheran) each went 2-for-4.

The nightcap featured a monster performance from senior Jake Cameron (Rockville Centre, N.Y./South Side), who boasted a pair of two-run home runs. For the game, Cameron batted 3-for-3 with four RBI and a run scored. On the mound, sophomore James McKenna (Bohemia, N.Y./Connetquot) got the start and was pulled after the score was tied through four innings of play. Sophomore Anthony Repetto (North Babylon, N.Y./North Babylon) notched the victory, tossing 2 1/3 innings in relief, while sophomore Chris Pyz (Kings Park, N.Y./Kings Park) took over for the final two-thirds of an inning to earn the save. With runners on base and with one out in the seventh, senior Paul Merola (Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y./Cornwall) corralled a line drive to record the second out, and a groundout to third ended the game.
