CORTLAND, N.Y. – Dylan Beers (Woodbury/Monroe-Woodbury) threw a no-hitter in the opener and Mat Bruno (Rye) drove in a combined 10 runs over two games as Cortland opened its SUNYAC schedule with a sweep of visiting Oswego. The Red Dragons won the first game, 10-0, and the second contest, 15-4, with both games scheduled for nine innings but halted after seven due to the league's new "10-run rule" being implemented during conference games. 
 
Cortland (10-7, 2-0 SUNYAC) and Oswego (5-10, 0-2 SUNYAC) will complete their three-game weekend series in Cortland on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. as the Saturday weather forecast is not good. 
 
Cortland 10, Oswego 0 (7 inn.) 
 
Beers tossed the 21st no-hitter in program history and the first since Jake Casey versus Canton in 2018. He struck out 12 batters and came within one batter of throwing a perfect game. The only runner he allowed was on a Greg Carullo one-out walk in the top of the sixth inning. 
 
Cortland finished the game with 15 hits. Bruno was 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI, Hunter Holliday (Camden) homered and finished 2-for-2 with three RBI off the bench, and Nick Chemotti (Warners/West Genesee) went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs scored. Adam Mieczkowski (Vestal) finished 2-for-4 with a triple and Zachary Kringdon (Larchmont/Mamaroneck) was 2-for-4 with an RBI. 
 
Cortland took a 1-0 lead on a Bruno RBI single in the first and added two in the second on Mieczkowski's triple, an Andrew Michalski (Buffalo/St. Francis) RBI single and, following two walks, a Dylan Mackenzie (Canandaigua/Canandaigua Academy) sacrifice fly. 
 
The Red Dragons sent 11 batters to the plate in a six-run sixth inning. The inning featured a Bruno two-run double and a Holliday three-run homer. Cortland walked-off the game with a run in the bottom of the seventh. Chemotti singled with one out and Bruno's two-out single moved pinch runner Jon Munoz (Yorktown Heights/Yorktown) to third, with Bruno taking second on the throw. Kringdon ended the game with an RBI single to left. 
 
Oswego starter Jacob Sanders allowed three runs on four hits in two innings for the loss. He struck out two and walked two. Anthony Van Fossen fanned six batters with just one walk but allowed eight hits and six runs over four frames. 
 
Cortland 15, Oswego 4 (7 inn.) 
 
Bruno homered twice and finished 4-for-5 with seven RBI and two runs scored as part of a 17-hit Cortland attack. Matthew Krafft (Cornwall) was 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI, Chris Bonacci (Syracuse/West Genesee) was 2-for-4 with a walk, RBI and three runs, and Kringdon entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fifth and went 2-for-2 with a homer and two RBI. 
 
Holliday registered a 2-for-4 performance with two runs scored and Michalski went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Mackenzie scored four runs despite finishing the game 0-for-5. 
 
Tishawn Featherstone and Jelani Hamer each homered for Oswego. Featherstone finished 2-for-3 with three RBI and Hamer went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs. Stephen Haglund was 2-for-3. Oswego starter Thomas Pecchia allowed five runs, three earned, on seven hits in two innings. Alek Conrad gave up seven runs, four earned, on nine hits with two strikeouts in four innings. 
 
Will McCarthy (Farmingdale) earned the win to improve to 3-0 after allowing three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and no walks in four and two thirds innings. It originally appeared that he wasn't going to be eligible for the win after being pulled in the fifth inning of a game originally scheduled to go nine, but when Cortland ended the game on the 10-run rule McCarthy then had the required four innings pitched for a starter to get a victory in a seven-inning contest. Tommy Lynch (West Seneca/Canisius) allowed one run on two hits with three strikeouts and no walks in an inning and a third and Shane Van Dam (Cranford, NJ) gave up one hit in a scoreless top of the seventh. 
 
Cortland led 6-1 after three innings. Bruno hit an RBI single in the first, and a four-run second inning included a Michalski RBI single, a Chemotti sac fly to the shortstop in shallow center field and another Bruno run-scoring single. Featherstone singled in a run for the Lakers in the third, but Krafft followed with an RBI double for the Red Dragons in the bottom of the third. 
 
Oswego pulled to within 6-4 in the top of the fifth. Hamer hit a two-out solo homer and Brian Brezosky singled as the last batter to face McCarthy. Featherstone greeted Lynch with a two-run homer to left center, but Lynch struck out the next batter to end the inning and allowed only an infield single in the sixth. 
 
Cortland broke open the game with a six-run sixth inning. Michalski singled, went to second on a passed ball and scored on a Bonacci bunt single as he never stopped running after the hit got past the third baseman. Three batters later Bruno hit a three-run homer to straightaway center, and a few batters later Kringdon hit a two-run homer to left. In the seventh, Bonacci walked and eventually scored on an error, and Bruno ended the game with a two-run round-tripper to left center.
