The Utica College baseball team split an afternoon non-conference double header with SUNY Canton Thursday winning game one convincingly, 17-3. The Pioneers dropped game two, 11-7, after allowing nine runs in the top of the seventh to even the twilight split. Sophomore third baseman

SUNY Canton moves its overall season mark at 15-16 and returns to the diamond Saturday to face Alfred State for the first of two weekend twin bills.
