FMCC baseball hosted the #10 Herkimer Generals on Sunday afternoon in a Mountain Valley Conference match-up.

In game one, the Raiders had trouble keeping up with the Generals in a 15-1 loss. Huai En Kao, KJ Constantino and Isami Shikama each collected one hit for FM. Constantino led with one RBI.

In game two, the Raiders turned the page to stun the Generals. They defeated Herkimer in walk-off fashion, 4-3.

FMCC got on the board in the first inning after Ryan Savoie singled, scoring two runs. A sacrifice fly by Brendan O'Connell extended the lead 3-1 in the bottom of the second inning.

In the top of the 7^th inning, Herkimer tied the game at three on a single by Shiryu Sato. In the bottom of the 8^th inning, Soichiro Hanawa put the ball in play and a throwing error by the third baseman allowed Ryan Savoie to score the game winning run. Savoie went 2-for-4 at the plate and led the team with 2 RBI's.

Cheng En Cai was stellar on the bump for the Raiders. The right-hander surrendered seven hits and zero earned runs over 7 innings. KJ Constantino came in relief in the 8^th and worked in and out of trouble. He gave up zero hits and struck out two.

FM will be back in action at the end of the week when they travel to take on SUNY Adirondack on Friday, April 11^th. The doubleheader is set for 2:00 p.m.
