The Oswego State Lakers take on the SUNY Fredonia Blue Devils on Friday in the first of a three-game weekend series from Laker Baseball Field.

Junior Carl Wolf was on the hill for the Blue Devils in the loss, dropping his second game of the year, allowing five earned runs in two innings. Senior Thomas Morris also allowed four earned runs in relief.
