COBLESKILL — The SUNY Cobleskill baseball team fell to Skidmore College, 9-3, in a non-conference contest Tuesday evening at Fighting Tiger Field. The game was called after eight innings due to fading daylight.
On a chilly evening where offense was hard to come by, senior Zach Ducorsky (Oceanside, NY) paced the Fighting Tigers with a 1-for-3 performance and a run scored. Freshman Thomas Reis (Deposit, NY) provided the biggest highlight of the night, launching his first collegiate home run in the eighth inning. Logan Firment (Andes, NY/South Kortright) added a hit and a stolen base, while Troy Enamait (Vernon, CT/Rockville) scored a run and swiped a bag of his own.
On the mound, Logan Scott (Binghamton, NY) turned in a solid start, allowing just one run on four hits over four innings but was tagged with the loss. The Cobleskill bullpen saw action from Jack Laughlin (Cortlandt Manor, NY/Walker Panas), Evan Balbera (Patchogue, NY/Patchogue-Medford), and Tyler Sienko (Binghamton, NY/Windsor).
Skidmore struck first, plating a run in the opening frame on a wild pitch. The Thoroughbreds extended their lead to 3-0 in the fifth before Cobleskill clawed back in the sixth. Ducorsky came around to score on a Korin Laurilla (East Greenbush, NY/Columbia) RBI groundout, and a wild pitch brought home Enamait to cut the deficit to 3-2.
However, the game unraveled in the seventh as Skidmore capitalized on Cobleskill miscues, erupting for six runs to break the game open. Reis answered in the eighth with a towering solo shot off the scoreboard in left field, but the rally was cut short as darkness forced an early ending.
The loss drops Cobleskill to 5-8 overall, while Skidmore improves to 10-4-2 on the season.
