Storm Blanked in Tourney Opener

July 16, 2008

The Keuka College baseball team lost its first round game in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) Tournament on Friday, falling to the top seeded Wildcats of Cazenovia College 7-0.  The Storm now face elimination in its next game in the double-elimination tournament.

The Storm were held scoreless throughout the nine-inning game as they managed just five hits.  Cazenovia plated two runs in the third, one in the fourth, and four in the seventh as they scattered 12 hits.

Keuka sophomore starter Simon Mills (Boonville, N.Y./Adirondack) pitched six and 2/3 strong innings allowing six earned and striking out two.  Senior Brady Begeal (Northville, N.Y./Wells) pitched the final inning and a 1/3 without giving up a run.

Keuka will square off against No. 3 seed Penn State-Berks who lost its open round game to Keystone College by a score of 10-2 at 2:30 pm.
