Thoroughbreds take two from RIT, 11-5, 5-3

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—The Skidmore College baseball team used a little long ball, timely pitching, and tight defense in an 11-5, 5-3 Liberty League sweep of RIT Sunday afternoon at Castle Diamond. The Thoroughbreds are 18-9 and 9-4 in Liberty League play, while the Tigers fall to 12-11 and 5-5.
 
  • Jackson Hornung continues to impress at the plate and in the field. He reached base six of eight times and was 3-5 for the day, with a towering three-run home run in game two. He walked three times (once intentional). Catching in game one, he picked off a runner at first with bases loaded to end a potential big inning. He's now hitting .463 with a 1.434 OPS, .605 OB%, and .829 slug%.
GAME 1
  • Skidmore spotted RIT a 4-0 lead, before the Thoroughbreds scored four in the third to tie it and five more in the fourth to pull in front 9-4. Brendan O'Neil keyed the third inning rally with a two-run single down the right field line. The fourth inning belonged to Sam Kornet who blasted a three-run shot over the fence in left for his fourth home run off the season.
  • Jaden Torrado had an RBI double in the sixth and O'Neil followed that up with an RBI double of his own.
  • Justin Posnik (1-0) got the win in relief. He went five innings, allowing one run on five hits with no walks and four strike outs. Ethan Barnett closed with two scoreless innings.
GAME 2
  • The Thoroughbreds were in control the entire way in game 2. After scoring one in the first, Skidmore tacked on four in the second for a 5-0 lead. Hornung's seventh home run of the season, a three-run shot, came with two outs in the second inning. O'Neil had an RBI double earlier in the inning.
  • Rookie Grayden Harris had his best outing of the season. The only blip came with two outs in the seventh when a decent 3-2 pitch was called a ball, putting runners on first and second. RIT's Zach Mecca then homered to cut it to 5-3. Grayden composed himself and got the final batter to foul out to Torrado in right to end the game.
  • Harris scattered five hits over seven innings, walking one and striking out five.
