Game One: Brockport 2, New Paltz 1 (10 innings)

Despite jumping out to a 1-0 lead after one inning of play, the Hawks gave up a run in the fourth and 10th inning to fall in the opener, 2-1.

Senior third baseman Mike Sparacino (Commack, N.Y./Commack) cracked an RBI single up the middle in the top of the first to score freshman Jake Williams (Seaford, N.Y./Seaford), giving New Paltz a 1-0 edge. But the Golden Eagles came through with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fourth and the ultimate game-winning hit in the bottom of the tenth.

Senior Shaun Hansen (Southold, N.Y./Greenport) earned the starting nod and pitched a solid game, going six innings while scattering four hits and allowing one run. Senior Tyler Mitts (Nanuet, N.Y./Don Bosco Prep) threw 3 1/3 frames, allowing just one run. Mitts was able to get out of a bases-loaded, no out jam in the bottom of the seventh to keep the game tied at 1-1.

New Paltz had five hits in the opener, as Sparacino led the attack with a 2-for-4 performance.

Game Two: Brockport 9, New Paltz 0

The Hawks managed just two hits in game two against the Golden Eagles as Mitts and freshman Chris Moran (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River) collected base knocks. For Mitts, this was his first career hit.

Brockport used a nine-hit attack, including a pair of home runs to hand New Paltz the shutout loss. For the Hawks, senior Jesse Vahamonde (Huntington, N.Y./Harborfields), sophomore Luke Schuessler (Highland Mills, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury), freshman Jordan Dietch (Commack, N.Y./Commack) and senior Roy Missall (Hemlock, N.Y./Honeoye Central) all appeared on the hill.

New Paltz broke up the no-hit bid in the top of the seventh when Mitts pinch hit and reached on an infield single to third base. Moran later followed with a single through the left side.
