SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team extended its winning streak to eight straight games with a 9-3 non-conference victory over St. Lawrence University on Tuesday evening at Ononodaga Community College. Ithaca, now 27-7 on the season, scored all nine of its runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. St. Lawrence is 7-26 on the year.

St. Lawrence took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning. The first Saints run scored on a fielder's choice with runners on the corners and the next crossed on a base hit through the right side of the infield. St. Lawrence led off the frame with back-to-back walks and a stolen base of third set up the eventual go-ahead run.

The Bombers threatened to put a run on the board in the bottom half of the second inning as sophomore Garrett Callaghan and senior Matt Carey strung together consecutive singles, but an inning-ending double play kept IC scoreless.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Bombers claimed their first lead of the game as Carey drove in senior Cam Fuoti and junior Buzz Shirley with a single to center and then sophomore Jack Lynch followed with an RBI triple down the right field line, which jumpstarted a nine-run outburst.

After a St. Lawrence pitching change, senior Garrett Snyder gave IC a 4-2 lead with an RBI triple to right-center as Lynch scored from third base.

The inning would continue as senior Webb Little brought home Snyder with a base hit through the right side of the infield to make the score 5-2. IC's sixth run of the inning crossed on an infield from Fuoti, which allowed W. Little to come home. The Bombers capped off the inning on a three-run double to the left field fence from Callaghan.

The Saints got back on the board in the top of the fifth inning with an RBI single up the middle to make the score 9-3. St. Lawrence's lead-off batter led off with a bunt single and moved up to second with a stolen base.

Senior Emmett Dunn picked up his sixth win of the season in seven innings of work. Dunn allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits with four strikeouts.

Senior Christian LaLomia tossed the final two innings of relief and struck out one batter.

Gallagher and Fuoti both went 3-for-5 in the win, while Callaghan drove in three runs with two hits. Carey also collected two hits for IC.

The Bombers are back in action on Saturday, May 4 for their Empire 8 Conference finale against Utica at 1 p.m. at Freeman Field.
