Union College 13 vs. Keuka College 2

Union College took the early lead as their leadoff batter started the game with a solo home run, but starting pitcher Tanner Olson (Gowanda, N.Y. / Gowanda) settled and got a strikeout to end the inning.

In the bottom of the first, the Wolves got a pair of walks and a single by Kyle Wood to load the bases. The Green and Gold tied the game on a wild pitch but left two on base.

The Garnet Chargers added two runs in the second and third to take a 5-1 lead. Olson settled in following that throwing shutout innings in the fourth and fifth innings.

Union added two runs in the top of the sixth, but the Wolves got one back in the bottom of the frame.  Kyle Wood reached on a fielder's choice, moved around on a wild pitch, and scored on a Union error for the Wolves' second run.

Union put the game away in the seventh as they scored six runs in the inning to defeat Keuka College 13-2.
