Fighting Tiger Baseball Roars Back from 10 Runs Down to Defeat Elmira College 19-17

15 Run Fighting Tiger Seventh Inning Shoots Down Host Soaring Eagles in Non-League Action

 
 

 
Elmira, N.Y.: Trailing the Soaring Eagles of Elmira College by an 14-4 margin going to the top of the seventh inning, with winds swirling at up to 23 miles per hour; the SUNY Cobleskill men's baseball team staged an epic comeback effort striking for 15 runs in the frame to post a 19-17 victory over their hosts on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference play. With the comeback win the Fighting Tigers improve to 6-10 overall on the season while the Soaring Eagles fall to 3-15 overall on the campaign.

On a day when no pitcher's earned run average was safe in the swirling winds of Elmira; the Cobleskill bullpen came through once again when needed, inheriting a 13-4 deficit in the bottom of the sixth and then holding a 19-14 lead behind the efforts of freshman right hander Dylan Stauffer, Staten Island, N.Y., Moore Catholic High School, who recorded his first career win by allowing an unearned run in sixth striking out one batter. Freshman righty Kristopher Bulman, Williamson, N.Y., Williamson High School, then recorded his first career save by working the final three innings; allowing two earned runs on five hits, striking out three and walking only one.

At the plate, there were many heroes led by freshman lead-off hitter Joseph Ciatto, Patterson, N.Y., Carmel High School, who had a single to lead-off the miracle seventh to go with a walk and a pair of runs scored in the inning, as part of at 2-for-5 for the day while freshman catcher D.J. McMahon, Poestenkill, N.Y., La Salle Institute, was also 2-for-5 on the day with four RBI and two runs scored. Sophomore center fielder Mitchell Holmes, Dartmouth, Mass., Bristol County Agricultural High School, also played a major role in the win going 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run scored as did freshman right fielder Anthony Disla, Bronx, N.Y., Metropolitan Soundview High School, who was 2-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored.

The Orange & Black will next be in action over the weekend when they travel to Abington, Pa. for a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) series versus the Nittany Lions of Penn State Abington beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday April 6th beginning at 1:00 p.m. followed on Sunday April 7th with a single game starting at 12:00 p.m.
