TROY, N.Y. – Mike Fogarty's infield walk-off single in the 10^th inning gave the Skidmore College baseball team a Liberty League split with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Saturday at Robison Field.
 
Brendan McNerney pitched a complete game, two-hitter and RPI banged out 10 runs on 13 hits in defeating Skidmore 10-1 in the first game.
 
The Thoroughbreds are 6-5 overall and 1-1 in Liberty League play, while Engineers are 5-6 and 1-1.

In the opener, the Engineers jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first and McNerney made it stand up, allowing only an RBI double to Matt Chipkin in the second inning for an unearned run, a single and three walks on his way to improving to 2-1. He struck out four in his 7.0 innings of work.

Will Potter had a single for Skidmore, which saw Sam Beck take the loss. He allowed 10 hits and nine runs (6 earned) with a walk in 4.1 innings of work. 

In the nightcap, the Thoroughbreds erased a 3-2 deficit by scoring a run in the eighth inning and the game-winner in the 10th to improve to 6-5 and 1-1. Chipkin started the eighth inning with a single and eventually scored on a two-out single to centerfield by Hayden Smith. Two innings later, Mike Fogarty's single to shortstop plated Nate Scheinman to give Skidmore the split.

Fogarty (2 for 3, 1 RBI), Smith (2 for 6, 1 RBI) and Chipkin (2 for 5, 2 runs, 1 RBI) each had multiple hits in the win. Andrew Aikens earned the win on the mound, striking out three with two walks in two innings of relief. 

Kyle LaMantia took the loss for the Engineers, who had six hits from six different players.
 
The same two teams meet on Sunday for a doubleheader at Robison Field. First pitch of game one is set for noon.
