SNOW CATS (10-3) 5
DP GREEN (1-10) 1
A.J. Gartland (Alfred State College) and Rojo Prarie (College of William & Mary) combined for a two-hitter as the Snow Cats defeated Diamond Pro Green for the second time this week. Gartland started on the bump and threw five innings with seven strikeouts. The 6-foot-1 left-hander set down the first eight batters he faced.
Prarie followed Gartland and finished out the game by striking out five of the seven batters he faced. The 5-foot-11 right-hander walked the first batter of the seventh inning but avoided any other trouble.
The Snow Cats scored four of their five runs. Mark Trotta (College of William & Mary) singled home Brandan Myers (St. Bonaventure University) to put the team on the board. Patrick Blackall (Rochester Institute of Technology) knocked in Trotta two batters later and Gil Merod’s (Ithaca College) single scored both Blackall and Lachlan Charles (Cornell University).
Cam Vozel (Gannon University) plated Nick Franceschi (Cayuga Community College) in the seventh as an insurance run.
Zach Prior scored Diamond Pro Green’s lone run on a wild pitch in the fifth inning. Keenan Calenzo and Tanner Degrazia notched the team’s only hits of the game. Carter Clark struck out three in two scoreless innings of relief.
