With the split, the Lakers clinched a berth in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 3 postseason tournament, beginning with the sub-regional, May 8-9.
Game One
The Lakers took a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh of the opener before the Cougars answered with three runs in the seventh and four in the eighth to earn the win.
Sophomore Lukas Haefner (Henrietta, NY/Rush-Henrietta) doubled and drove in two runs, freshman Tim McClare (Macedon, NY/Gananda) went 2-for-4 with a double, and sophomore Zach Harter (Rochester, NY/Rush-Henrietta) was 1-for-3 with two runs scored for FLCC.
