Ithaca Pounds Old Westbury For Second Lopsided Win In Two Days
Yaphank, N.Y. -- The baseball team (2-0) remained undefeated, hammering Old Westbury 11-2. The Bombers have collected 30 hits in their first two outings.
Third baseman David Ahonen (Victor/Farmington), a graduate student, scored three runs and jump-started Ithaca's offense with a three-run first-inning home run. The home run was the 11th of his career and he's three RBI away from becoming the 20th Bomber to reach 100.

Senior Aaron Sapp (Niskayuna/Niskayuna) earned the win in his first start of 2011, allowing just one earned run while fanning five batters in six innings. Senior Dan Lynch (Williamsville East/East Amherst) and junior Tucker Healy (Needham/Needham, Mass.) combined to throw three scoreless innings of two-hit relief. Ithaca's bullpen has contributed six shutout innings, allowing three hits with seven strikeouts and one walk over the season's first two games.
