PITTSFORD, NY- The Utica College baseball team dropped the final game of its Empire 8 Conference series against St. John Fisher College, 3-0, Thursday afternoon.
 
The Cardinals got on the board in the bottom of the first as Ryan Prevost walked with the bases loaded.
 
Fisher added two more runs in the third thanks to an RBI triple by Prevost and a single by Malcolm Kelsey that plated one.  That was all the Cardinals needed as they improved to 15-1 in the conference.
 
Despite having more hits than the home team, Utica could not get a run across.  Christian Tiffin (Sherrill, NY/VVS), JT Ross (New York Mills, NY/New York Mills), Jake Ryan (Kingston, NY/Kingston), Zachary Schellenger (Schenectady, NY/Schenectady), Adam Nell ( Vernon, NY/VVS), Jacob Gaboriault (Colchester, VT/Essex), and Stephen Soria (Mahwah, NJ/Mahwah) each contributed one hit, with Tiffin leading the way with a double.
 
Sophomore Mark Spina (Frankfort, NY/Frankfort-Schuyler) struck out one and allowed just five hits in the loss. 
 
UC (18-16, 8-8 Empire 8) returns to action Friday with a big E8 contest at Elmira College.  Game time is scheduled for 5 p.m.
