The Outlaws moved into a second place tie with the Cooperstown Hawkeyes after a 4-3 win over the Glens Falls Golden Eagles last night at Damaschke Field. Nick Umberger (Shippensburg) got the win for the Outlaws, going eight innings giving up three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five.

 All three Golden Eagle Runs came in the third inning when Keenan Maddox (Missouri State) singled to score Tommy Cheek (San Diego) and Jeff Melillo (Rutgers) who led off the inning with back to back singles. Umberger allowed just two hits after the third and kept the Outlaws in the game long enough for the offense to make another late rally.

After Matt Goulas (Louisiana-Lafayette) scored a run in the first on a Sam Meyer (Pepperdine) single, the Outlaws went scoreless until the seventh when Derrick Osteen (William & Mary) stretched a base hit into a double with one out. Matthew Scruggs (East Tennessee State) followed with a single to score Osteen and bring the Outlaws within a run.

Tom Murphy (Buffalo) reached on an error with one out in the bottom of the eighth when the newest Outlaw Tomo Delp (Maryland) stepped to the plate. Delp, who just arrived in Oneonta the night before the game, entered in the fourth inning and was already 1-2 before getting his second hit of the night to move Murphy over to third. Marc Perdios (Boston College) followed with a sacrifice fly to left to tie the game, and Delp moved over to second on the throw.

The Golden Eagles went to the bullpen to bring in lefthander Barrett Noirfalise (Missouri State) to face the left-handed hitting Aaron Weimer (UCLA), but Outlaws coach Greg Zackrison went to his bench for pinch hitter James Young (Barry). Young hit a grounder to first base where Ryan Retz (Pima C.C.) bobbled the ball, then rushed his throw to Noirfalise covering first and it got away from the pitcher, allowing Delp to score the go ahead run.

Kevin Dickey (UC Riverside) entered in the ninth for the Outlaws and threw a 1-2-3 inning for his second save, and is yet to allow a run on the year. With the win Umberger improves his record to 2-2. The Outlaws have a doubleheader today with the first game an important one at 1:00 in Cooperstown, then play Albany at 6:00 at home at Damaschke Field.
