Oswego State secured its first 20-win season in nine years in registering a doubleheader sweep over Utica College in a non-conference contest on Wednesday, May 6 in Oswego.

Sophomore outfielder Brandon Wroblewski (Rochester/Greece Arcadia)  hit a combined 4-for-6 with three runs scored and three runs batted in, while senior third baseman Pat O’Keefe (Bronx/Lehman) batted 5-for-8 with a run scored and two RBI as Oswego State kept its hopes alive for an ECAC postseason berth in sweeping a pair of seven-inning non-conference doubleheaders from host SUNY Cobleskill on Tuesday, April 28.

Oswego State held early leads in both games of a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) versus host Plattsburgh State.
