LA PLUME, Pa.- The Keystone College baseball team earned a nonconference split with Oswego State as they defeated the Lakers 3-2 in 10 innings but dropped the second game, 7-3, Sunday afternoon at Christy Mathewson Field.
Game One: Oswego State 2, Keystone 3 (10 inn.)
Oswego State would score first in the top of the first from an error. The game would remain scoreless until the Lakers added another run off a solo home run.
The Giants cut their deficit in half with a Carlos Pascual (Paterson, N.J./International) RBI SAC fly. They would tie the game in the bottom of the ninth as Dee Rice (Simpsonville, S.C./Dorman) would score off an attempted steal attempt to send the game into extra innings.
In the bottom of the tenth, Pascual ripped a single up the middle to bring home the winning run and give Keystone the game one victory.
