The heat relentlessly stayed at Bellizzi Field on Thursday night, but the Albany Dutchmen 3-game losing streak went away. The big hit came off of the bat of Nick Chapman (UNC Greensboro) as he drove in the game-winning run in the person of Alex Jurczynski (Oswego State) who singled and scored on a close play at the plate to give the Dutchmen a 6-5 victory over the Watertown Wizards.

Chapman and Jurczynski each had two hits of their own, as they joined Zach Remillard (Coastal Carolina) as the only three Dutchmen to have multi-hit games.

The Albany starter was Cody Tollison (Middle Tennessee State), who pitched brilliantly, but saw the bullpen blow his lead. Tollison pitched 7 and 2/3 innings, while scattering five hits and allowing two runs. He struck out five and walked two, but unfortunately, left with a no decision.

Trevor Lacosse, who has been pitching lights out for Albany out of the bullpen, kept his cool in a tight spot in both the 8th and the 9th innings, to pick up his third win of the season and improve to 3-0.

The key contributors for the Wizards offensively were Jordan Enos (Holy Cross) who had three hits, including a big 2-RBI double off of the left field wall, and Brandon Cippola (Holy Cross) who had two hits of his own.

Albany improves their record to 6-6, ending a losing skid, and Watertown drops to 5-8. Albany takes on Newark tomorrow at 7pm.
