The Hilbert College Baseball team dropped a pair of games to local rival Medaille College by scores of 14-1 and 10-5. The Hawk's record falls to 3-19 overall and 1-9 in AMCC play.
 
In game 1, the Mavericks recorded 16 hits to just two for Hilbert. Ryan La Corte (Cheektowaga, NY/JFK) had both hits for Hilbert.
 
In game 2, Medaille led Hilbert 6-0 through 4.5 innings. The Hawks mounted a charge, plating three runs and cutting the lead in half, at 6-3. Freshman Brandon Cassidy (Hinsdale, NY/Hinsdale) and sophomores Ryan La Corte (Cheektowaga, NY/JFK) and Frank Simmeth (Cheektowaga, NY/St. Mary’s) each drove in a run, to jumpstart the Hilbert attack.
 
The Mavericks would respond with four runs in the top of the sixth to push the lead to 10-3.
 
Hilbert added two runs in the bottom of the sixth but it was not enough to catch Medaille.
 
Simmeth was 3-4 on in the second game and drove in two runs. Sophomore Colby Miller (Rochester, NY/Irondequoit) was also 2-3 for Hilbert.
 
The Hawks will play at the University of Pittsburg Bradford April 15.
