GAME ONE

The closest Fredonia came to scoring came in the sixth. Bradshaw had a lead-off double, followed by a single by Nicolas Fiore, to put runners at the corners with no outs. CWR's Matt Levine retired the next three en route to seven shutout innings.

The Blue Devils had runners in scoring position in the third (Domenic Monti single and stolen base), the fourth inning (lead-off double by Yirinec, advanced to third on a ground out with two outs), the seventh (Jon Morrison hit by pitch, followed by a groundout), and the eighth (another double by Yirinec).

Sam Cestra was the Fredonia starting pitcher and took the loss.

GAME TWO

The Blue Devils got a clutch two-out, two-strike hit from Bradshaw to cap their three-run rally in the second. Bradshaw, who had singled to lead off the game, lined an opposite-field single into left field to score Mistretta, who had lined a double over the right-fielder's head, and DJ Shiershing. A lead-off double by William Clifford and an RBI single by Brian Chatt got the scoring started.

The Blue Devils put runners at first and third in the third and the fifth innings but did not score.

CWR scored two in the fifth and three in the sixth to lead the lead, Jacob Lott delivered a two-run single to CWR on top for good 4-3. Jake Ryan followed with an RBI single. He also had an RBI double in the fifth following a sacrifice fly by Rocco Maue..

Anthony Kinney started and pitched two scoreless innings. Christopher Kuchta followed and allowed one run in two innings. Nick Ciraolo was tagged with the loss after giving up four runs -- two earned -- on six hits over 1 2/3 innings. Kenneth Jaroszek (1 1/3 innings) and Kenneth Ynoa (1 inning) each pitched scoreless relief.

Yirinec led off the ninth with a double deep into the gap in left-center but was stranded. The hit extended his hitting streak to five games (8 for 19).
