Victor RailRiders News Release
After taking game one of the series in Elmira, the RailRiders were able to complete the sweep, winning game two by a score of 4-0.
The Riders got another terrific performance out of their pitching staff on Sunday. This time it was Peter Lannoo (Cornell) University) who earned the victory after pitching a complete game 3 hitter with 6 strikeouts. It was Lannoo's 4th win of the season and second straight quality start.
Victor got on the board in the bottom of the second, scoring 2 runs on a pair of hits. Matt Fallon (Xavier University) lead off with a walk, Chris Introcaso (College of St. Rose) singled, Mike Meyers (RIT) singled in Fallon, and Chris Lehane (Jacksonville University) grounded out, bringing in Introcaso to make the score 2-0.
Victor scored its 3rd and 4th runs in the sixth, again needing 2 hits to do it. Mark Cardinalli (UC Davis) and Even Fernandez (Jacksonville University) hit nearly identical back-to-back home runs to left center field to give the Riders a 4-0 lead they would not relinquish.
All but one Victor starter had 1 hit in the game, with Fernandez going 2-4 including the home run.
Victor will play the winner of the East Division Championship series being played between Amsterdam and Mohawk Valley. Game 1 of the finals would be played either Monday or Tuesday depending on when the East Division series comes to a close.
