TC3 was able to string a couple hits together in the bottom of the 5^th inning and get 3 runs across to take the lead. Dakota Deasy relieved Boyd in the bottom of the 5^th to get the final out of the inning, and pitched a shut out in the 6^th, finishing with 1 strikeout on the day. Our bats were working early on to get us 2 runs to start the game; Hunter Holiday went 3-3 at the plate with 1 RBI and Joshua Navarra contributed a 1-3 game with 1 RBI.

Game two had the similar flow of game one for the Men's baseball team. Joshua Harvey took the mound for the 2^nd game of the day, and was solid throughout. Harvey went 5 2/3 innings pitched, while adding 1 strikeout and only allowing 3 hits and 0 earned runs. Ethan Straub came in to finish the bottom of the 6^th inning, striking out the only batter he faced all afternoon. Hunter Holiday carried over his hitting from game one into game two with a 2-4 contribution at the plate, and Tim Gaudioso added a 2-3 day at the plate as well. Jefferson was able to move around base runners around in the top of the 6^th inning, ultimately leading to Zachary Scannell crossing home plate to break the 0-0 tie and take a 1-0 lead. TC3 then came to the plate in the bottom of the 6^th, and pushed 2 runs across the plate to take a 2-1 lead. Jefferson was unable to answer back in the top of the 7^th inning, leading to a final score of 2-1 in Tompkins Cortland CC favor.
