The SUNY Broome baseball team was bested by nationally-ranked #13 Cayuga CC in both games of a home doubleheader on Sunday.
The first leg of the doubleheader resulted in a 12-0 final after seven innings while the second leg ended after five innings with a 13-1 final.
With the two losses, SUNY Broome's record this season moves to 2-8. The Hornets have played eight games vs NJCAA Region 3 opponents and now sit at 2-6 in Region 3 play. Sunday's games vs Cayuga were the first contests against a conference opponent, so SUNY Broome is 0-2 in Mid-State Athletic Conference (MSAC) play.
Next up on the season itinerary is another doubleheader with Cayuga, this time on the road. That twinbill is slated for Thursday, April 2 with first pitch times of 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.

The Spartans had 14 hits and made two errors while SUNY Broome was held to two hits and committed one error.
Luke Grassi made his fourth start of the season and received the loss. In four starts, Grassi has pitched to an 0-3 record with a no decision in the other start. He pitched 2.2 innings and allowed six hits and six runs, walking three and striking out three.
Evan Persbacker pitched 1/3 of an inning in relief and allowed a hit and a walk. Brady Mazur came into the game in the top of the 4th and allowed two hits, two runs, and two walks in an inning of relief.
