Baseball Falls in Series Opener Against Cortland

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - The Plattsburgh State baseball team fell in their series opener with the Cortland Red Dragons on Thursday afternoon, as the visiting team took the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) opener over the Cardinals 10-1. The Cards limited the Red Dragons to just two earned runs over nine innings, but five errors led to eight unearned runs scoring. 

Alex Kornblau (Pound Ridge, N.Y./Fox Lane) and Adam Wein (North Rockland, N.Y./Don Bosco Prep) each had two hits and a double for Plattsburgh, as the pair both doubled in the third inning for the Cardinal's only run. Sean Malamud (Staten Island, N.Y./Susan E. Wagner) took the loss for Plattsburgh, as he went five innings and gave up just one unearned one while walking none and striking out two. Kolby Mordecki (Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Roy C. Ketcham) was excellent for Plattsburgh in relief, retiring all six batters he faced, striking out two. 

Plattsburgh moves to 12-18 (4-9 SUNYAC) with the loss while Cortland improves to 24-9 (14-2 SUNYAC). The teams will wrap up their SUNYAC series with a doubleheader beginning at noon at Chip Cummings Field tomorrow, April 28. 

On Thursday afternoon, Cortland jumped on the board in the first, as the Red Dragons kicked off the scoring with Mat Bruno knocking in an unearned run with an RBI groundout. The team went on to add three more runs in the third as a sacrifice fly drove in a run, and an error in left field prolonged the frame, allowing two more runs to score. 

The Cardinals earned their first run of the game in the bottom of the third, as Wein knocked a one-out double in the right-center gap. After a foul out, Kornblau hit a ball to right field, where a diving attempt came up short, allowing Wein to score and put the Cards on the board as they trailed 4-1. 

After a scoreless fourth, Cortland broke the game open with five runs on five hits and two errors in the fifth inning. After the first out was recorded, two errors were committed by the Cardinals, opening up the big frame for the Red Dragons, with a three-run homer by Adam Mieczkowski highlighting the frame for Cortland.  

Each team held each other scoreless over the next three and a half innings before Cortland added a run in the top of the ninth extending their lead to 10-1. The Cardinals then went scoreless in the bottom of the frame, securing the win for Cortland at 10-1.

Dylan Beers earned his seventh win of the year with seven strong innings on the mound, letting up just one earned run and five hits while striking out four. Mieczkowski finished the day 3-5, a triple short of the cycle, as he drove in five runs for the Red Dragons.
