The Ithaca College baseball team showcased exceptional performance as they swept the three-game series against St. Lawrence University, securing an impressive 11-1 victory on Saturday at Freeman Field. The game concluded after seven innings due to the enforcement of the 10-run rule. With this win, the Bombers have improved their season record to 9-7 and remain undefeated in the Liberty League with a 3-0 standing. Pitcher Ethan Murley's stellar start set the tone for the Bombers' dominance, while key contributions from batters such as Andrew McDermott and Tyler Pugliese fueled their offensive efforts.

From the outset, the Bombers demonstrated formidable strength both defensively and offensively. Ethan Murley, who started for Ithaca, delivered a robust pitching performance over six innings, limiting St. Lawrence to just one run on three hits while striking out seven batters. His early command was particularly evident, as he fanned six batters within the first three innings. Meanwhile, the Bomber lineup began its scoring spree in the second inning when Ryan Laubscher reached base after being hit by a pitch. Sheldon Jay Walker III's single positioned runners optimally, setting the stage for Pugliese's RBI single that initiated Ithaca's lead.

In subsequent innings, the Bombers continued their aggressive play. Camden Laney's double in the third inning led to another run via a wild pitch, expanding the lead to 5-0. The fourth inning saw further momentum as Riley Brawdy's triple and McDermott's timely base hit extended the gap to 6-0. Ethan McDonough capitalized on a Laney RBI single later in the same frame, increasing the score to 7-0. By the sixth inning, the Bombers had widened their advantage to 10-1, thanks to strategic plays including Max Salerno's fielder’s choice and Collin Feeney's RBI triple.

Danny Drotos relieved Murley in the seventh inning and swiftly shut down St. Lawrence with two strikeouts, preserving the Bombers' commanding lead. In the final moments, Pugliese's leadoff single and Brawdy's double loaded the bases following an intentional walk to McDermott. Salerno's subsequent walk brought in the decisive run, sealing the victory.

Looking ahead, the Bombers will travel to Rochester to face St. John Fisher University on Monday, March 24th, at 3:30 p.m., aiming to maintain their winning streak. Fans eagerly anticipate another thrilling display of skill and teamwork from the Ithaca College squad.
