The Panthers dropped another doubleheader on Tuesday, losing a pair to Onondaga Community College. TC3 is now 2-23 overall and 1-12 in the Mid-State Athletic Conference.

Game One: Onondaga 21, Tompkins Cortland 5 (five innings)

The visiting Lazers scored in every inning, putting the game away with seven runs in both the second and third innings  Aiden Huften provided one of the bright spots for the home team, knocking his third home run of the season.

Game Two: Onondaga 11, Tompkins Cortland 5

The Panthers trailed 8-0 in the second inning but balanced the ship and closed out the game well. The highlight came late in the game when Jack Pilgrim became the seventh different player to homer for the Panthers this season, blasting a long shot that bounced off the scoreboard high above the right field fence.

Looking ahead

The Panthers are scheduled to host Finger Lakes Community College on Thursday.
