Medaille Sports

The Medaille College baseball and softball teams were well represented when the AMCC posted their All Conference teams.  Both teams made it to the conference playoffs with the Lady Mavs making an exciting run to the title game.  On the baseball side of things the Mavs placed two players on the AMCC First Team as junior Nick Kanutsu (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville East) and sophomore Mathew Urbanski (Depew, NY/Lancaster)(pictured) each earned that distinction.  (more…)

Female: Holley McAllister (Sr. – Rochester, NY)(Softball)

Holley led the Lady Mavs on an improbable run to the AMCC Title game. She was (13 for 28) for a (.464) batting average. Her slugging percentage for the week was a remarkable (.893). She doubled her career number in triples with four of them in a two game stretch. Medaille set a program record for wins in a season with (23) and made their first appearance in the AMCC Title game.

Male: Brandon Lumadue (Jr. – Cheektowaga, NY)(Baseball)

Brandon posted huge numbers in the final week of the Mavs season as he went (7 for 12) for a (.583) batting average. Even more impressive was his (1.000) slugging percentage. He pounded out three extra base hits (two doubles and a home run). He also drove in six runs. The Mavs set a program mark for wins in a season with (18).

It was a disappointing end to the 2010 Medaille College baseball season as they were swept in their best of three series at Penn State-Altoona in the opening round of the AMCC Tournament.  The Mavs could only muster four hits in the opener as they fell (6-0) to the Lions.  Both Mathew Urbanski (Depew, NY/Lancaster) and Erik Skibinski (Cheektowaga, NY/West Seneca East) went (1 for 2), Urbanski was also hit by a pitch and Skibinski drew a walk.

The Medaille College baseball team wrapped up its regular season with a (15-5) loss at Fredonia State.  They did so despite a trio of solo home runs by Brandon Lumadue (Cheektowaga, NY/West Seneca East), Nick Kanutsu (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville East) and Andrew Godfrey (Lockport, NY/Lockport). Lumadue finished the day (3 for 3) with two RBI. The Mavs received three innings of work on the hill from Billy Lorenzo (Fairport, NY/Fairport) who allowed just three runs while fanning a pair.  The loss drops the Mavs to (18-16) on the year and they will face Penn State-Altoona on Friday at 10:00am in a best of three series in the opening round of the AMCC Tournament.  They make their first tournament appearance after a two year hiatus.

The Medaille College baseball team is wrapping up their regular season with a pair of single game non-conference matchups, the first of which they hosted today, as Empire 8 powerhouse St. John Fisher visited Buffalo, NY on “Senior Day”.  In the early stages of the game it seemed the Mavs could pull off the upset as they took a (2-1) lead in the bottom of the third inning on a base hit from Brandon Lumadue (Cheektowaga, NY/West Seneca East)(pictured) (2 for 3, 2 RBI) that scored Nick Kanutsu (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville East)(1 for 3, R) and Jeffrey Cox (Buffalo, NY/City Honors)(2 for 4, 2R, 2B).  However, the Cardinals would tally six runs in the top half of the fourth en route to a (16-3) win over the Mavs.  Senior hurler Alex Lindauer (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster) was strong early as he fanned five batters in his five innings of work.  The loss drops the Mavs to (18-15) on the season and they will wrap up regular season play tomorrow (5/5) with a single game at Fredonia State.

Nick Kanutsu (So. – Williamsville, NY)(Baseball)

Nick had a monster week as the Mavs went (2-2) and locked up an AMCC playoff berth. He was (11 for 16) with a (.688) batting average. He pounded out four home runs and drove in 13 RBI’s. He is now hitting (.451) overall and (.500) in AMCC contests.

Laura Mauger (Sr. – Clarence, NY)(Softball)

Laura came up big in a playoff clinching (5-3) victory over Mt. Aloysius. In that contest she went (3 for 4) including driving in the game winning run. The Lady Mavs are currently (18-18) overall and (10-8) in conference play. They finished fifth in the regular season standings.

The Medaille College baseball team had a disappointing afternoon as they dropped a pair of AMCC game at Mt. Aloysius.  In the first game the Mavs fell (8-4) despite the strong hitting from junior Ray Clogston (Olcott, NY/Newfane) who hammered a home run and a double in a (3 for 4) outing. Sophomore Mathew Urbanski (Depew, NY/Lancaster) was (2 for 4) in this one while senior Brian Vital (North Grafton, MA/Grafton) had a hit and a run batted in as well. Junior Matt Dunford (Buffalo, NY/Bishop Timon) got the start and threw (4.1) innings, he struck out three Mt. Aloysius hitters.  (more…)

The Medaille College baseball team finally faced Hilbert College after “Mother Nature” forced two schedule changes.  The changes didn’t affect the Medaille offense as they overwhelmed the Hilbert pitching staff in the opener, slugging their way to a (22-3) win.  The Mavs connected for twelve extra base hits (9 doubles and 3 home runs) and they blew the game open with an eight run third inning.  Sophomore Nick Kanutsu (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville East) had a spectacular day, in the opener as he was (3 for 4) with a double, two runs and an RBI.  (more…)

The Medaille College baseball team was slated to face Hilbert College at 1:00pm today in a AMCC showdown.  However, that game has been pushed to tomorrow (4/28) at 2:00pm due to poor field conditions on the Hamburg, NY campus.  The Mavs are coming off a weekend sweep of Pitt-Greensburg and are currently (16-12) overall and (10-6) in AMCC play.  They are in the thick of the conference playoff race as the regular season winds down.

Male: Jeffrey Cox (Jr. – Buffalo, NY)(baseball)

Jeff led the Mavs to a (3-1) weeks as he went (8-14) from the plate, including a pair of doubles, for a (.571) batting average. He scored five runs and drove in three as well. His stellar hitting pushed his season average to (.500) which is second best in the AMCC.

Female: Kristen Rohe (So. – Buffalo, NY)(softball)

Kristen hit well in four games this week as the Lady Mavs posted a (2-2) record. She was (6 for 12) from the dish for a (.500) average, including belting her sixth home run of the season. She scored twice and drove in a pair of runs as well. The Lady Mavs swept Penn State-Behrend, earning their first victory over the Lions since 2007.
