The Bombers had an opportunity to take an early lead in the top of the first inning. Sophomore Garrett Callaghan led off with a walk but was retired on a fielder's choice off the bat of senior Webb Little. Two batters later, senior Sam Little notched a base hit to put two runners on with two outs, but the potential rally came to an end with a strikeout.
Ithaca then fell behind Chapman, 2-0, after the second inning. A one-out single came all the way around to score on a double, and after a hit by pitch and stolen base, an IC error allowed the second run of the inning to come home.
Over the next two innings, neither team was able to produce a hit until a single by Callaghan drove in
Ithaca's lone run of the game in the top of the fifth. Senior Cam Fuoti reached on a two-out error and moved into scoring position after a wild pitch to set up Callaghan's run-scoring base hit to center.
Chapman blew the game open in the sixth with five runs on six hits to take a 7-1 advantage. The Panthers loaded the bases on senior Andrew Bailey with a pair of doubles, a fielder's choice and walk, which forced Bailey out of the contest. Senior Christian Lalomia entered with a bases loaded jam with one out and surrendered four straight hits to let in all five runs of the inning.
The Panthers would tack on four more runs in the bottom of the eighth on four hits, including a two-run single and two-run double.
Callaghan, S. Little, senior Garrett Snyder and junior Buzz Shirley notched hits for the Bombers.
Bailey took the loss in 5.1 innings pitched as he allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits. Lalomia went 0.2 innings before junior Trevor Rumsey logged the final two innings of work.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Senior Jake Binder
of the Ithaca College baseball team spun his best collegiate
performance as a Bomber on Sunday against No. 18 California Lutheran in
Thousand Oaks, Calif. as he took a no-hit bid into the ninth inning in
Ithaca's 2-0 victory. Ithaca is now 1-1 this season, while Cal Lutheran
(the 2017 national champions) falls to 9-3 on the season.
Binder carried a perfect game into the eighth inning, but a lead-off walk erased that feat. After a double play and strikeout, he had still faced the minimum through eight innings. In the ninth inning, Binder struck out the lead-off batter but then surrendered a single through the right side. He wrapped up the shutout victory with a strikeout and flyout.
Binder needed just 100 pitches to maneuver through the Kingsmen lineup and struck out five, to just one walk, and induced 14 groundball outs.
It was a pitcher's duel over the opening five innings as Binder and Cal Lu's Troy Frazier traded scoreless frames. Ithaca managed to produce two hits during that time as seniors Webb Little and Adam Gallagher notched singles but were unable to build off the base hits.
In the top of the sixth inning, Ithaca took a 1-0 lead on a one-out RBI fielder's choice by senior Sam Little that pushed home sophomore Garrett Callaghan, who led off the inning with a walk. A base hit from W. Little placed runners on the corners, and after a strikeout, S. Little staked the Bombers to a 1-0 lead on RBI fielder's choice.
Ithaca increased its lead to 2-0 in the seventh on an RBI groundout from Callaghan that plated sophomore Jack Lynch. In the frame, Lynch started things off with a base hit and then senior Matt Carey followed up with a hit by pitch. A passed ball moved both runners up 90 feet and then Callaghan's run-scoring groundout provided an insurance run.
W. Little went 2-for-3 in the game, while Callaghan was 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and RBI.
