ITHACA, N.Y. – Webb Little went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, double and five RBI and Buzz Shirley finished 5-for-5 with two doubles and three runs batted in as Ithaca College defeated visiting Cortland, 15-4, in a non-league matchup.

Cortland (18-9-1), ranked 25th nationally in Division III, had its 11-game winning streak snapped. The Red Dragons will host Cazenovia College Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. Ithaca improved to 16-5 while winning for the eighth time in its last nine outings.

Cortland took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a Scott Giordano (Croton-on-Hudson/Croton-Harmon) infield single, a wild pitch, a Colin BeVard (Syracuse/West Genesee) infield single and a Dan Schweitzer (Poughquag/Arlington) one-out RBI single through the left side. Ithaca starter Jake Binder, however, did not allow another hit until being relieved one out into the seventh inning. He finished with six and a third innings of three-hit ball with five strikeouts and one walk to up his record to 4-2.

Ithaca scored 14 runs through the first four innings. An Adam Gallagher RBI double, RBI singles by Matt Carey and Shirley, and a Jack Lynch bases-loaded walk accounted for four runs in the first. Sam Little hit a two-run homer in the second and Webb Little singled home a run in the third to make it a 7-1 game. The Bombers scored seven times in the fourth on a Shirley RBI single, an Andrew Wollner two-run single and Webb Little's grand slam.

The hosts scored their final run in the seventh on Shirley's RBI double. Cortland put up three runs in the top of the ninth behind singles from Matt Krafft (Cornwall) and Joe Tardif (Cutchogue/Mattituck) along with a catcher's interference call, a walk, a passed ball and a pair of wild pitches.

Cortland starter Andrew Barnes (Rochester, NH/Spaulding) took the loss after going an inning and a third. The top Red Dragon reliever was Noah Ernst (Catskill/Homeschooled), who threw the final two innings and gave up no runs on one hit with a walk and two strikeouts.
