AUBURNDALE, FL. -- Freshman Bailey Gauthier slammed the door by striking out the side with a pair of runners on in the seventh inning to close out a 3-1 Fredonia victory over Franklin and Marshall in Game 2 of a double header in the Devils' final contest in Florida.

Gauthier (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) threw three scoreless innings in relief of Carl Wolf (Hilton, N.Y. / Hilton) who allowed one scratch run in four innings of work to earn the victory.

Fredonia did all of its offensive damage in the fourth inning. Down 1-0, singles by Kenny Johnston (Buffalo, N.Y. Kenmore West) and Liam Kelly (Buffalo, N.Y./Bishop Timon)  set the table for Erik Krohl (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee) who drove home Johnston with a double. Kelly scored on a wild pitch advancing Krohl to third. Krohl eventually scored on a sacrafice fly by Brian Castonguay.

The Blue Devils dropped Game 1 of the doubleheader 8-4. Krohl had a two run single in the second inning and Ricky Mendiola hit a two-run homerun as a pinch hitter in the seventh. Joe Korszun took the loss.

The Blue Devils now stand at 5-8 on the season while the Diplomats are 7-3.
