CORTLAND, N.Y. -- The No. 10 nationally-ranked Red Dragons of SUNY Cortland flexed their muscle in today's non-league doubleheader, as the Elmira College baseball team dropped a pair of nine-inning contests at Cortland's Wallace Field. Elmira fell in game one, 8-1, before Cortland piled it on in game two with a convincing 17-0 victory.
 
Elmira struggled to find its rhythm at the plate in game one, as Cortland's Christian Dufresne twirled a 118-pitch no hitter en route to a seven-run victory. EC's lone run of the contest came in the sixth inning when a string of errors, capped off with a wild pitch, resulted in Eddie O'Donnell IV '18 crossing home plate.
 
Cortland, on the other hand, plated five runs through the first five innings against EC's starting pitcher, Conor Bawiec '18. Corey DeMauro '20 came in for relief duty for the final three innings of play, but the Red Dragons scored another three runs, one of which was earned, to secure an 8-1 win. Bawiec finished with a pair of strikeouts, while DeMauro fanned one batter.
 
Game two was a much more one-sided affair, as the Cortland offense exploded for 17 runs on 15 hits, while the Cortland defense held Elmira scoreless on just four hits. The Red Dragons plated two-or-more runs in five of the eight innings, including a four-run second inning and a five-run outburst in the fifth.
 
Five different players toed the rubber for the Soaring Eagles in game two. Zach Williamson '20 received the starting nod and tossed three innings, allowing six runs, four of which were earned, on six hits.
