BOXSCORE 3 HOUGHTON, N.Y. – For the third straight game, senior pitcher
Sean Larson took a shutout into the final inning of a SUNYAC contest. The third time proved to be the charm as he completed the whitewash, allowing four hits and striking out seven en route to a 1-0 victory.
The game's only run was scored when
Conner Lorenzo connected on a base hit scoring
Matt Casilio.
Just three days earlier, Larson took a 1-0 shutout into the ninth vs. Brockport. He also worked a 2-0 shutout into the ninth vs. New Paltz. Each game, he couldn't quite get over the hump.
"Sean had all three pitches working today," said head coach
Matt Palisin. "He pounded the strike zone, and he also had some great defensive plays behind him."
Sophomore Dan Cecila had two hits for Fredonia State. Matt Mastrianni was the tough-luck loser for the Red Dragons, giving up six hits and one run.
The day began when the teams picked up a suspended game in the seventh inning. Oneonta was able to hold off the Devils for a 6-0 in that contest that began on March 30th.
Ciro Frontale recorded two of the team's seven hits.
The Dragons got the better of the Devils in the second game as well, 5-3. Cecilia had two hits in the game.
Larson was the pitcher of record in the suspended game, too. He surrendered three runs over six innings. The series drops the Blue Devils to 10-17 overall and 5-10 in SUNYAC play.
Fredonia State's next game will be on Wednesday vs. Allegheny College at home. First pitch slated for 3 p.m.
