SUNY Baseball Falls to Hamilton

Clinton, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill men’s baseball team dropped an 11-4 decision in non-league play on Sunday afternoon to the host Continentals of Hamilton College. The loss drops the Fighting Tigers to 1-14 overall on the season while win improves Hamilton to 10-9 overall on the year.

The Fighting Tigers defense struggles continued in the cold and wind at Hamilton’s Loop Road Complex as five Cobleskill errors and several misjudged balls aided the Continentals on the afternoon.

Offensively the Orange & Black were led by junior first baseman Nate Carinci, Oneida, N.Y., Oneida High School/Jefferson Community College, who went 4-for-5 with a triple, a RBI and a run scored and freshman center fielder Mitchell Holmes, Dartmouth, Mass., Bristol County Agricultural High School, who was 2-for-4 with two RBI.

Freshman southpaw starter Burke Hughes, Nantucket, Mass., Nantucket High School, took the loss going two innings allowing only one unearned, striking out two and walking one as the Fighting Tigers used the nine inning contest to find work for six members of the pitching staff on the afternoon.  

Cobleskill will return to action on Wednesday April 11th when they travel to Cazenovia, N.Y. for a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) doubleheader versus the Wildcats of Cazenovia College beginning at 2:00 p.m.
