Baseball Falls to Rochester in League Tourney

Garrett Renslow throws no-hitter to lead Yellowjackets past RPI, 10-0

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Junior Garrett Renslow threw a no-hitter to lead the University of Rochester baseball team to a 10-0 victory over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), in the Liberty League Tournament on Thursday night. With the win, the Yellowjackets improve to 25-14 overall and advance to the winners bracket, while the Engineers drop to 20-18 and will play in the first elimination game tomorrow against RIT (11am).

Renslow (Castleton, NY/Maple Hill) surrendered just two walks, including a ninth inning free pass to RPI senior pinch hitter Michael Arboleda (Wappingers Falls, NY/John Jay). He was able to set the down the next two hitter in the final frame, however, to record the first Rochester no-hitter since 2014.

RPI starter, junior Christopher Palmiero (Patterson, NY/Carmel) was matched Renslow early, working a 1-2-3 first, before pitching around a lead-off error in the second. Freshman catcher Jake Chekian (Rolling Hills Estates, CA/Palos Verdes) broke up Renlsow's perfect game with a walk in the top of the third.

The Yellowjackets then struck for a single run in the third, thanks to back-to-back singles from Jake Hertz (Briarcliff Manor, NY/Briarcliff) and Joseph Rende (Babylon, NY/Babylon). A an error on a sacrifice bunt attempt brought home the game's first run and a 1-0 U of R lead.

After a clean fourth, Rochester plated two runs in the fifth, thanks to an RBI-double from David Reith (Teirra Verde, FL/St. Petersburg) and a run-scoring single off the bat of Jacob Matzat (Sherwood, OR/Sherwood). The Yellowjackets then pulled away in the sixth, scoring four runs to take a 7-0 lead. The rally was highlighted by a solo homer from senior Jack Herman (Gansevoort, NY/Saratoga Springs) – his team-leading seventh of the year.

Rochester strung together three straight two-out hits in the eighth to add three more runs. Reith, Matzat and Aiden Finch (Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos) all delivered base hits for the Jackets in the inning.

Palmiero allowed seven runs (6 earned) on nine hits over 6.0 innings, striking out one without a walk. Sophomore Mike Tagaris (New City, NY/Clarkstown South) gave up three runs (1 earned) on six hits over 2.0 innings. He had two strikeouts without a walk.
