The Le Moyne college baseball team saw its NEC Baseball Championship run cut short on Tuesday, falling 11‑1 to Wagner in a seven‑inning contest that left the squad’s 2026 campaign ending at 22‑26.
The finish caps a season that featured a respectable 22‑11 mark in conference play, a tally that positioned the Dolphins among the league’s more competitive mid‑major programs.
A Quiet End to the Season
Wagner’s offense proved relentless, with seven different hitters contributing RBIs, highlighted by designated hitter Matt Sutera’s two‑run homer in the fourth that swung momentum decisively.
Right‑hander Colin Trizuto delivered a solid outing for the victors, scattering one run over seven innings while striking out two, earning the win and preserving a tidy ERA for the team.
Le Moyne’s lone run came in the seventh when junior second baseman Mike Whelehan lifted a sacrifice fly, driving in a run that briefly narrowed the gap but could not alter the outcome.
Junior outfielder Jack Cannon continued his steady production, recording his 86th hit of the year in the opening frame, a performance that placed him one shy of the program’s all‑time single‑season hit record.
Starter Luke VanMarter, a freshman right‑hander, worked 3.1 innings before being relieved by redshirt sophomore Eric Swienecicki, who logged 2.2 frames and surrendered four runs, two earned, while fanning one batter.
The Seahawks will reconvene tonight at 8 p.m., awaiting the result of the Game 4 showdown between top‑seeded LIU and second‑seeded FDU, a matchup that will determine their next opponent.
