Baseball Sweeps Sunday Doubleheader, Wins Series vs. UMass Lowell

Game One Score: UAlbany 4, UMass Lowell 1
 
Game Two Score: UAlbany 11, UMass Lowell 10
 
Location: Varsity Field in Albany, N.Y.
 
Records: UAlbany (12-13, 10-8) | UMass Lowell (8-19, 7-11)
 
Short Story: Dolan Ocasal draws a walk-off bases loaded walk in game two to propel UAlbany to a doubleheader sweep and series win over UMass Lowell. 

Coach Jon Mueller: "I give UMass Lowell a lot of credit for battling back from down five runs twice in game two. Our guys were tough at the end of that game to get the win and Cregg Scherrer was dominant in game one. Game two was the type of game we needed to learn to win, when we surrender the lead but still come out on top. These Sunday games can turn into wars, especially the second game, and we're really happy to be on top at the end."
