Outlaws lose fifth straight; Hawkeyes suspended by darkness

Anonymous Staff Report The Daily Star Tue Jul 03, 2012, 03:30 AM EDT

The Oneonta Outlaws continued to struggle in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League on Monday with a 20-6 drubbing by visiting Watertown that marked their fifth consecutive loss.

The Outlaws' second straight loss by double digits _ they fell, 11-1, to the Cooperstown Hawkeyes on Sunday at Doubleday Field _ dropped them into fourth place in the nine-team league with an 11-11 record. Oneonta trails leader Amsterdam (20-3) by 8.5 games and is 1.5 behind Glens Falls and Newark, who are tied for second at 13-10.

Watertown's Donald Walter, who was hit twice by pitches, finished with five runs and three hits. Four other Wizards had multiple hits.

Oneonta starter Ben Mordini (0-1) took the loss, giving up five runs in 1 1/3 innings. His outing included five walks, three hit batters and three wild pitches.

Taylor Hicks allowed seven runs on nine hits and fellow reliever Colter Bostick gave up eight runs on six hits, the latter in less than an inning on the mound.

Shane Crain had three hits, Cody Hough finished with two hits and four RBIs, and Orlando Rivera had three hits and scored two runs for Oneonta, which visits Newark tonight before returning to Damaschke Field for a 6 p.m. game Wednesday against Glens Falls.

The Hawkeyes ran out of daylight Monday as their game at Doubleday Field against Mohawk Valley stopped after seven innings. Mohawk Valley held an 18-9 lead at the time of the suspension. The continuation of the game has not been scheduled.

The Hawkeyes visit Amsterdam tonight and host Watertown at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
