CORTLAND, N.Y. – The Ithaca College baseball team claimed its second consecutive regional title as the Bombers left no doubt at SUNY Cortland on Sunday by defeating the top seed and No. 22 Red Dragons, 15-0. Ithaca is now 31-14 on the season and will face the winner of the Bridgewater State Regional next weekend.

All nine batters, including a pinch hit single by Matt Curtis, recorded a hit as IC produced 17 in the win and seven went for extra bases.

Garrett Bell set the tone for the Bombers with a pair of strikeouts and fly outs in the top of the first inning. IC then took a 1-0 lead as Matt Fabian sent a single up the middle and plated Collin Feeney, who reached on a walk, from third base.

Bell would go 8.0 innings and allowed three hits with four strikeouts. He retired the Red Dragons in order in six of the eight innings pitched. Matt Chase threw the ninth and also retired Cortland in order.

IC knocked Cortland starter Bryan Bernard out of the game in the second inning as Riley Brawdy led off with a walk and Gil Merod followed with a single to centerfield. Ethan Rothstein pushed IC's lead to 2-0 with a double off the left-center fence and Brawdy scored on the play. Feeney continued the inning with an RBI double to center, making it 3-0, and Louis Fabbo followed with a run-scoring single to center to force another pitching change for Cortland with the score now at 4-0.

Following the change, Garrett Callaghan drove in two more runs on a single through the left side of the infield to push the lead to 6-0 as Feeney and Fabbo scored.

The Bombers added another run in the bottom of the third on a wild pitch as Rothstein scored to make it 7-0. Rothstein reached on a two-out double off the fence and moved up on an infield single by Feeney. After another pitching change, the first pitch delivered to Fabbo sailed behind him to the backstop.

IC scored for the fourth consecutive inning as Mike Nauta sent an RBI triple to right-center to bring in Callaghan and extend the lead to 8-0.

In the bottom of the fifth, Rothstein stroked a solo home run to left-center to tack on the ninth run of the contest. Rothstein would be named the Most Outstanding Player of the Regional as he went 3-for-4 in the title game and finished the tournament 5-for-12.

The Bombers added two more runs to the scoreboard in the bottom of the eighth as Fabbo cranked a two-run homer to left with Feeney on base to put IC up by an 11-0 score. It continued from there as Brawdy tacked on a grand slam in the eighth to make it 15-0.

Along with the MVP honor to Rothstein, Fabbo, Shashaty, Bell, Kyle Lambert and Colin Leyner were named to the Regional All-Tournament Team.
