Cortland Defeats Yellowjackets in Non-Conference Tilt

CORTLAND, NY – The University of Rochester baseball team suffered a non-conference loss on Tuesday afternoon, falling to perennial Division III powerhouse SUNY Cortland 7-2 at Wallace Field.
URochester (8-11) could muster just seven hits, and only one extra base hit, in the loss, while Cortland (14-7-1) scored multiple runs in three separate innings to extend its win streak to four straight games.
First-year Carlos Barajas led the Yellowjackets with a 3-for-4 day at the plate, including recording the lone double of the game for the visitors. Classmate Logan Mathais added a 2-for-3 day with a walk from the nine hole in the lineup.
Sophomore Benjamin Garber extended his hit streak to nine games with a 1-for-3 showing, scoring one of the two 'Jacket runs. Jake Bentivenga picked up an RBI late in the game, scoring Jake Goldberg with a ground out in the eighth inning.
For the Red Dragons, Danny Jackson provided the biggest hit of the day, smacking a 3-run home run down the right field line in the second inning, providing the home team with the needed runs for the victory. Jackson finished 2-for-4 with a run and three driven in. Trey McGowan added a 2-for-5 game for the Red Dragons while Nolan Smith, a top-10 RBI-man in Division III this season, added two to his total on Tuesday.
URochester used seven pitchers in the mid-week tilt, with four of them tossing scoreless innings. Jake Del Vecchio, Theo Beckley, Aidan Watts and Kevin Carpenter-Holmes all put up zeroes for the Yellowjacket pitching staff. First-year Sam Loeb started and tossed two innings, striking out two. He ended up picking up the loss after allowing Jackson's 3-run blast in the second.
Cortland starter Joe Yovino led four hurlers for the Red Dragons, going four innings without surrendering a run. He struck out three and allowed three hits in picking up the win. Tommy Lynch was effective out of the bullpen for Cortland, striking out five over three innings. 
After a stretch of four games in three days, the Yellowjackets now get a few days off to prepare for a weekend series against Liberty League foe St. Lawrence. That set begins on Friday at 4 pm at Towers Field, with a doubleheader wrapping up the weekend on Saturday afternoon.
