@OW_Panthers Baseball rallies past St. Lawrence to win Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic opener

Old Westbury continues its six-game trip Sunday (Mar. 17) in Fort Myers, Florida with a doubleheader against Bethel University

FORT MYERS, FL --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury baseball opened the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic with an 8-6 non-conference win Saturday afternoon against the St. Lawrence University Saints (1-0) from Lee County Player Development Complex No. 2 in Fort Myers, Florida.

The Panthers (2-2-1) took an early first-inning lead with a Brandon Wilson (1-for-5, RBI, 2 R) double off Saint starter Alex Black (ND,5 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 K) to score Mike Manetta (2-for-4, 4 R, BB) for the game's initial run.  Three batters later, Old Westbury doubled its lead with a Sean Kaminski double to advance Wilson home.

Panther starter Adam Heidenfelder (ND, 3 IP, H, BB, 5 K) made his season debut by fanning five of his final eight batters faced in three innings of work.

Trailing 2-1, St. Lawrence put together a five-run fifth inning off relievers Brandon O'Brien (1.1 IP, 3 H, 5 ER, 3 BB) and Joe Sarni (W, 1-0: 4.2 IP, 4 H, ER, BB, 4 K) to jump ahead, 6-2.    

Peter Capel (3-for-5, 5 RBI) ripped two-run singles in the fifth and sixth frames to tie the game at six for Old Westbury.  

With one out in the eighth inning, John Condon (2-for-4, RBI, 2 R, BB) singled down the left field line off Anthony Ferraro (L, 0-1: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, ER, 2 K) to score Manetta for the game-winning run.  Capel then followed with a RBI double to settle the 8-6 final.

Sarni tossed 4.2 innings of relief to snag Old Westbury's win.  

BETHEL UNIVERSITY ROYALS UP NEXT FOR THE PANTHERS: Old Westbury continues play Sunday (Mar. 17) at the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic in Fort Myers, Florida with a 9 a.m. doubleheader against the Bethel University Royals (3-2) from Terry Park Sports Complex No. 3.
