The Alfred State baseball team split a doubleheader at Medaille on Sunday. The Pioneers took the opener 6-5 but fell 17-9 in the nightcap.

The Pioneers used a six-run 2nd inning to take control of the first game. David Zuber (Honeoye Falls Lima) hit a three-run homer and Thomas Shofi (Carmel) hit a bases clearing three-RBI double.

Zuber was 2 for 2 with 3 RBI, Cullen Franz (Cazenovia) was 2 for 4, and Shofi finished with 3 RBI.

In the nightcap, Medaille scored nine runs in the 1st inning and led 16-0 after four innings before the Pioneers clawed back into the game with a seven run 5th inning. Pedro Mora (Harlem/All Hallows) got the blue & gold on the board with a sac fly. Jose Martinez (Queens/Newtown), Danny Doran (Irondequoit), and Garrett Mack (Avon) collected RBI singles and Jesse Swan (Campbell Savona) connected on a bases clearing three-RBI double.
