The Salt Cats came into the NYCBL in 2010 after playing in the Eastern Collegiate Baseball League for two seasons. We have had several players from several Colleges and Universities located throughout the United States and Canada and have enjoyed the experiences and quality of the soon to be 47 year old New York Collegiate Baseball League. The NYCBL is one of the most historic Collegiate Summer Baseball Leagues in America.  The NYCBL is a member of  the National Alliance of Collegiate Summer Baseball is governed by NCAA rules and regulations.  The league is partially funded by Major League Baseball.

The Salt Cats are one of the most active multi-media teams in the NYCBL!

Salt Cats Fall to Silversmiths 8-1 

Syracuse, NY - The Syracuse Salt Cats (5-4) were beaten by the Sherrill Silversmiths (4-4) 8-1 on Monday night at Onondaga Community College Stadium.

The Smitties got things started in the top of the second, as a sacrifice fly gave Sherrill a 1-0 lead. In the bottom half of the inning, Matt Stokes (Salve Regina) singled to center with one out, advanced to second on a groundout, and then stole third base and scored on a throwing error to bring home the first and only run for the Salt Cats.

In the top of the third, the Silversmiths responded as back to back walks set the scene for Caleb Vacchiano’s two-RBI triple and then a Ben Daniel RBI double to make it a 4-1 ballgame. Sherrill tacked on more runs in the fifth and the seventh to bring the score to 8-1, and the only other offense for Syracuse came in the form of singles from Tristan Gatchalian (Marywood), Isaac Brozon (Le Moyne), and Eamon Giblin (St. Bonaventure).

A bright spot on the mound was Hunter Allen (Salve Regina)(pictured left) working 4 innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out 5. 

The Salt Cats remain atop the NYCBL’s Eastern Division Standings (5-4, 10 points), and will look to bounce back on Tuesday with a doubleheader against the Rochester Ridgemen (3-6, 6 points) in Rochester.

The Salt Cats return home to OCC on Wednesday to take on the Hornell Steamers at 5 and 7 p.m. All live and archived game footage can be found on the NYCBL Digital Network, and you can keep up with the team on social media @SyrSaltCats for more updates.
