Senior catcher Dale Curry scored on the game-tying run on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth and when the throw to the plate caromed out of play, sophomore outfielder Steve DeBarberie followed with the game-winning run as top-seeded Alvernia earned its second Eastern College Athletic Conference South Region Baseball Championship Title with a 6-5 win over Delaware Valley Saturday afternoon at Alvernia.

Earlier in the month Oswego State won the 2008 ECAC Upstate Championship with a 12-9 victory over Brockport State, their first since 1995. Tom Benedetto was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament as he batted .389 over the course of four weekend games and had six RBIs to tie for the tourney lead in that category.

But the lasting moment of that tournament will be how Oswego rallied without its coach, Frank Paino. In the play-in game against St. John Fisher, Paino, coaching third base, was struck in the side of the head by a foul liner and had to be hospitalized. Trailing 9-5 in the ninth inning, St. John Fisher conceded the game.

ESPN.com's Wayne Drehs details how reserve sophomore outfielder Brian Stark coached the team to the tournament win.
