WESTMINSTER, Pa. -- The Fredonia State baseball team dropped a pair of games at Westminster despite rallying twice, 14-8 and 5-4. In Game 1, the Devils scored three times in the top of the sixth to tie the game at 8-8 before surrendering six runs in the bottom of the sixth. In Game 2, they scored twice in the sixth and twice in the seventh before stranding the tying run at third base in the 5-4 loss.

Game 1
Down 8-5, the Devils used a three-run double from Jake Wentland to knot the game at eight in the top of the sixth. However, a six-run bottom of the inning for the Titans proved to be the difference.

Wentland worked a full count, and with the runners moving, drove the ball to deep left field to tie the game.

The Devils mounted nine hits in the seven-inning affair, scoring in five of the seven innings. 

Wentland, Ethan Behnke, and Matt Wojcik each had two hits. Behnke had a pair of doubles and two RBI, while Wentland and Wojcik each added a double. Jordan Maher was 1-3 with a run and RBI, and Garrett Stuckey got on base three times with a pair of walks and a base hit. Mario Williams was 1-4 with a pair of stolen bases.

Nate O'Brochta went 2.0 innings and took the loss on the mound. Morgan Zientara worked 3 1/3 innings, and Nate Zicari pitched the final two outs.

Game 2
The Devils were held in check until the sixth inning. A rare bases-loaded catcher's interference plated the first run. A groundout by Jeremy Rosado plated the second run.

In the seventh, the Devils loaded the bases with nobody out. After a strikeout, Garrett Stuckey scored on a wild pitch. Wojcik then drove home Behnke with a sacrifice fly and Wentland moved up to third. Westminster then recorded the final out on a strikeout to end the game. 

Nick Syposs took the loss, working four innings giving up four runs. Derrick Walters (1 1/3 innings) and Michael Byrns (2/3 of an inning) also pitched.

For the doubleheader, Behnke went 5-8  with three doubles. Wentland had four hits and Wojcik had three.
