BOXSCORE Box Score
HOUGHTON, N.Y. -- The Fredonia State baseball team traveled all the way to Houghton College to take on Brockport, and came away with a 6-2 win. Poor field conditions forced the game to be moved to all-turf complex at Houghton.

The Devils jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first. With one out, a hit batter and hits by Ciro Frontale (Syracuse/Bishop Ludden) and Ricky Mendiola (Williamsville/Will. South) loaded the bases. Mike Prentice (West Seneca/St. Francis) plated the first run with a bases loaded walk. A Matt Casilio (Webster/Webster Thomas)  groundout accounted for the second run.

Brockport cut the lead in half in the bottom of the fourth on a wild pitch that scored Wes Burghardt.

The Devils responded quickly in the top of the fifth. Scott Schuster (Livonia) roped a leadoff triple and scored on a single by Conner Lorenzo (Rochester/Brighton). Following a sacrifice bunt and another hit by Frontale to put runners at the corner, Mendiola plated Lorenzo on a sacrifice fly to put the Devils up, 4-1.

In the bottom of the fifth, Brockport again cut the lead in half, following a pair of walks, a single and a sacrifice fly.

The Devils added a run in the seventh to make it 5-2 when Mendiola lined another sacrifice fly to score Kenny Johnston. The final run was scored in the eighth when Lorenzo's two-out single scored Dan Cecilia (Utica/Whitesboro).

Frontale finished the game with four hits, and Lorenzo and Mendiola each drove in a pair of runs. Schuster and Prentice added a pair of hits. Fredonia State out-hit Brockport 13-7. Burghardt had three hits for the Eagles.

Steve Sturm (Amherst) picked up his third win of the spring in five innings of work, allowing three hits and both runs. Thomas Morris (Syosset) and Joey Tingue (South Dayton/Pine Valley) each worked a scoreless frame, and Kyle Grey (Frewsburg) wrapped up the game with a pair of scoreless innings. The pitchers were aided by a pair of double plays and errorless defense.

Brockport falls to 11-5 overall and 3-3 in the conference.

The Devils (6-8, 2-2 SUNYAC) are scheduled to travel to Pitt-Bradford this Saturday for a pair of games.
