Spartans Win 2 at Broome

Cayuga Community College Baseball's lineup and rotation both dominated in a pair of road wins over SUNY Broome on Sunday.

The Spartans came away with a 12-0 win in the opener behind Ashtyn Traugott-Knoll's complete game shutout and followed that up with a 13-1 victory in the second game. Cayuga is now 14-6 on the season and is 8-0 in Mid-State Athletic Conference competition.

Cayuga took command immediately in the first game, plating five runs in the top of the first. The first eight batters reached base safely in the inning, with Eathen Yoon, Tristan Sierra and Joshua Lightburn hitting RBI singles. Yoon smashed a two-run homer in the fourth, and the Spartans added three more runs in the seventh, including two on a double by Jeremy Recio.

Recio and Yoon each had three hits and scored twice, with Recio finishing with two RBI and Yoon with three. Jakson Ross and Tyler Black each scored twice, with Black and Sierra adding two hits apiece. Knoll dominated throughout the game, surrendering just two hits while striking out seven.

In the second game, Cayuga scored three in the first, two on a single from Yoon and one more on a Ben Hatfield double. After adding solo runs in the second and third innings, Cayuga added two in the fourth and six in the fifth, with RBI hits from Recio, Black and Yoon in the fifth.

Henrik Axelson held the Hornets in check, allowing three hits and striking out four for the complete game win. Black and Yoon had three hits apiece and combined for five runs and five RBI. Ross, Recio and Sierra each scored twice, Hatfield had two hits and two RBI, and Chase Mascelli had two hits.

The Spartans are home Monday, March 30, to finish their season series against Fulton-Montgomery Community College. Cayuga won two road games earlier this season against the Raiders.
