FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia dropped both ends of a SUNYAC softball doubleheader with Brockport, but not without providing some late drama Wednesday night.
Down by five runs heading into their final at-bat, the Blue Devils rallied for four runs and had the tying and winning runs on base before falling 10-9. The Blue Devils lost the opener, 9-1, to fall to 13-14 overall and 10-6 in the SUNYAC.
A lead-off single by
Erin Mushtare (Oneonta, N.Y./Oneonta) followed by a pinch-hit, two-run homer by
Maddy Stavish (Olean, N.Y./Olean) got the four-run seventh inning started. A walk, an error, and a two-run double by
Alyssa Morgan (Homer, N.Y./Homer) cut the Brockport lead down to one-run.
The Golden Eagles' Jaime Berger pitched out of further trouble and earned the win in relief. She pitched a complete-game three-hitter in the opener. The sweep left Brockport at 16-14 overall and 8-6 in the conference.
Morgan was Fredonia's Game 2 offensive leader with two doubles, a single, three RBI, and two runs scored.
Madeline Medina (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg) had two singles and two RBI while
Maggie Paras (Florida, N.Y./S.S. Seward) had two hits.
Aldyn Carlson (Dunkirk, N.Y./Dunkirk) was the losing pitcher in relief.
Medina,
Lauren Pixley (Hamburg, N.Y./Frontier), and
Katelyn Dennis (Webster, N.Y./Webster Schroeder) each had a single in Game 1.
Kelsey Gannett (Endwell, N.Y./Union-Endicott) started in the circle and took the loss.
For Brockport, Delaney Buckley homered in each game and Kelly Proper homered in Game 2. The Golden Eagles had 10 extra-base hits in the doubleheader.
Fredonia closes out its regular season with doubleheaders Friday and Saturday at home. Friday's twinbill vs. D'Youville is scheduled for a 3 p.m. start. Buffalo State is the Saturday opponent with a spot in the six-team SUNYAC Touranment likely at stake.
