CLOSER LOOK
Gallagher came up huge in Saturday's E8 championship game as the catcher hit a pair of solo home runs to help propel Ithaca to their eighth-consecutive E8 Championship. In Saturday's title win over St. John Fisher, he went 2-for-4. His first homer broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the third inning, and the second gave the Bombers a 7-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth.
In total, four student-athletes from E8 Champion Ithaca were named to the team. Three from runner-up St. John Fisher were recognized. Ithaca will now head to Kean University to compete in the NCAA Tournament. The Bombers will open with Westfield State in their first game Friday afternoon.
