ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Le Moyne jumped out to early leads in both games and never looked back as it swept a non-conference doubleheader from St. Bonaventure on Tuesday afternoon at Fred Handler Park.

The Dolphins (18-14) extended their winning streak to four games by taking game one, 9-2, and game two, 9-5. The Bonnies have now dropped eight straight games and stand at 4-16 overall. The Brown and White will head to Niagara on Wednesday for a nine-inning affair.

Junior Jesse Bosnik (pictured) was the highlight of the day at the plate, going a combined 3-for-6. All three of Bosnik's hits were of the extra-base variety, as he stretched his hit streak to 18 games with a pair of doubles in the opener and a two-run homer in game two.

In all, the Bonnies finished the two games with 18 hits. Senior Nick Cunliffe had a team-high four hits with two runs scored and an RBI. Sophomore Nick Brennen and freshman Billy Urban had two hits each in game two. Brennen's final hit was a double.

Freshman Robert Nalepa made his first career start in the opener, going 6.2 innings in the loss. Nalepa moved to 1-1 on the season after giving up seven earned runs and 11 hits. 

Nalepa limited the Dolphins to just one run over the first four innings of the opener, but the visitors scored three runs in the fifth and five more in the seventh for the easy win.

St. Bonaventure's lone run of the game came in the bottom of the seventh on a RBI single by Cunliffe.

Game two saw the Dolphins jump out to another big lead, scoring runs in four of their first five at-bats to take a commanding 8-0 lead.

The Bonnies started to climb back into the game in their half of the fifth when an RBI groundout by Urban and Bosnik's fourth home run of the season cut the deficit to 8-3.

Le Moyne added one more run in the top of the seventh and the Bonnies attempt at a rally ended with two runs in the bottom of the seventh and a 9-5 final.  

Freshman Eddie Gray was credited with the loss after giving up seven runs over four innings. Redshirt sophomore Mike Pease worked the fifth inning, senior Cory Sudbrook tossed a scoreless sixth and junior Jamie Wallschlaeger capped the game. Sudbrook's appearance was the 67th of his career, moving him three away from tying the all-time record.
