The Herkimer County Community College baseball team made the most of a raw, chilly day on Sunday, sweeping visiting Corning 16-12 and 4-3.

In the first game, the pitchers struggled to get a grip on the ball in the 40-degree weather that felt much colder with 20-m.p.h. wind gusts. After Corning went up 1-0 in the 1st inning on a solo home run, HCCC came back with an eight-run 2nd--the first six of which scored before the first out was made. Notre Dame graduate Steve Campbell and Ty Folli each went 2-for-4 with four RBI in the win, which was the 100th of head coach Jason Rathbun's career (all at HCCC).

In the second game, Herkimer took an early 1-0 lead, Corning went up 3-1 with a three-run 4th inning, but HCCC pulled it out with a three-run 6th. Mitch Kierpiec threw a complete game for the victory, giving up just three hits with two walks and four strikeouts.

With the wins, Herkimer, unofficially ranked 12th in NJCAA Division III this week, improves to 11-5 overall and 9-3 in Region III.
