CORNING, NY - After a week filled with postponements and games played in snowy, frigid conditions, the Northampton Baseball team finally got to play a couple games in spring-like conditions, sweeping Corning Community College on Saturday afternoon at Red Baron Field.

Tommy Dunleavy (Bushkill, PA/East Stroudsburg North) powered the offense, finishing 3 for 3 with 5 RBI, including a 3-run homerun in the 2nd and a 2-run shot in the 4th giving him 5 homeruns on the season.
