OSWEGO — Oswego used a walk-off two-run double in the first game and a combined three-hitter in the late game to sweep visiting Buffalo State today in a SUNYAC doubleheader, winning 4-3 and 3-0.
Gamr #1: Oswego – 4, Buffalo State – 3
The Lakers erased a 3-2 deficit with a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning to steal the 4-3 victory. Allie Block (N. Tonawanda/Starpoint) led the Bengals at the plate, going 2 for 2 with a home run and a pair of RBIs. She was also in the circle, scattering six hits with nine strikeouts. Oswego opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the first inning, but the Bengals evened the score on a Block single and an error that scored Danielle Szymkowiak (Cheektowaga/Cheektowaga) and Laura Crooks (Niagara Falls/Niagara Wheatfield) in the third inning. The Bengals pulled ahead on Block’s homer in the sixth, but the Lakers set the table with a hit by pitch and a single in the seventh before producing the game-winning double.
Game #2: Oswego – 3, Buffalo State – 0
The Bengals managed just three hits in the late game and only advanced one runner past second base in the shutout loss. Nicole Adams (Lockport/Starpoint) collected two of the Bengals’ three hits, going 2 for 2 with a double. Block turned in another solid compete-game effort, scattering just four hits with 10 strikeouts and only allowed one earned run. The Lakers opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning and then capitalized on a second error by the Bengals to score another run in the third inning.
Buffalo State is next scheduled to host Brockport in a SUNYAC doubleheader on Friday at 3 p.m.
