Baseball drops two at Rochester

Rochester, N.Y.-- The University of Rochester baseball team pushed its win streak to 11 games after sweeping a Liberty League doubleheader against Skidmore College on Saturday afternoon at Towers Field.

Rochester (16-7, 9-1 Liberty League) took a tight game one 4-2 and then broke out the bats in a 13-3 win in game two.  The Thoroughbreds drop to 6-10 overall and 0-6 in the Liberty League.

Down 1-0 in game one, Skidmore would tied the game in the top of the 3rd when Jeb Clarke lined a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Steven Gilbert who led off the inning with a double.

UR would answer back, regaining the lead in the bottom of the inning with two unearned runs of Skidmore starter Nick Petrella.

The Thoroughbreds would get another run in the 6th, but struck some bad luck in the process, preventing them from tying the score.  Clarke doubled to start the inning.  Mike LaVita then singled through the right side putting runners on the corners.  After a strikeout, Matt Barra  lined double to right field which would have scored LaVita from first had it not bounced over the fence for a ground rule hit.  With the tying and go-ahead runners in scoring position, UR starter Evan Janifer got two strikeouts to end the threat, preserving a one run lead.

Rochester would add insurance in the bottom of the inning when he scored on a wild pitch.

Petrella tossed a complete game for Skidmore, allowing 7 hits, 4 runs (2 earned) and 1 walk while striking out 6.

The home Yellowjackets were able to capitalize on Skidmore control issues in game two, seizing a 13-3 victory while drawing a UR single game record 15 walks.

The Thoroughbreds would score two to get on the board in the top of the 6th inning, both runs coming due to two UR errors.  After a two-out walk from Nick Fronte, Daniel Dasgupta reached on an error and both were driven in when Josh Brown ripped a triple to deep center field.  Brown would finish 3-3 with 3 RBI and a walk as the bright spot for Skidmore in game two.

The same two teams are back at it for a doubleheader on Sunday, starting at 12 pm.
