FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Brockport got the better of the Fredonia State baseball team on Saturday, taking both ends of a doubleheader at Ludwig Field. Brockport took the opener, 17-3, and won the second game, 12-7.

Game 1
The Devils got all three of their runs in one swing of the bat. Jordan Maher ripped a bases-loaded double to plate three runs in the bottom of the fourth. At the time, it cut the Brockport lead to 5-3. However, the Golden Eagles would tack on 12 runs over the next three innings, the biggest barrage being a six-run seventh.

Fredonia State was held to four hits, with Maher accounting for two. Kyle Tedford and Jake Wentland also collected safeties.

Morgan Zientara started for the Devils, going four innings, allowing seven runs. Michael Byrns and Jeremy Rosado combined to finish out the contest. 

Matt Collucci went 6 1/3 innings, striking out nine for the win. 


Game 2
Brockport jumped out to a 7-0 lead over the first three innings. Fredonia State would get on the board in the bottom of the fourth.

Gannon poked a two-run single to score Maher and Garrett Stuckey. The Devils would strike again in the bottom of the sixth.

Tyler Curtis ripped a two-run homerun to cut the lead to 7-4. Gannon followed with a single, Brady Ventura reached on an error, and Riley Cardinali walked to load the bases. Matt Wojcik singled in two more runs to make it a one-run ballgame, 7-6.

Brockport added one run in the seventh, then four in the eighth to take a 12-6 lead.

Fredonia State scored its final run the bottom of the eighth when a sacrifice fly by pinch hitter Tedford drove in the team's seventh run.

Nick Syposs took the loss, going four innings and giving up seven runs, five earned. Colin Pytlak got the win for Brockport, going 5 1/3 innings, giving up five earned runs.
   
Owen Ludwig relieved him and gave up one run over his first three innings. He started his fourth inning of work and left with the bases loaded and no outs. Brockport would plate all three of those runners. 

Nate Lockwood threw the ninth. He relieved Derrick Walters after a leadoff walk. After giving the next two batters free passes and loading the bases, Lockwood would work out of the jam without allowing a run.

Next up for the Devils is a trip down I-90 to Penn State Behrend on Monday. At stake will be the I-90 Cup. The Devils are currently in possession of the traveling trophy, although the Lions hold a slight 6-5 edge in the Cup Era.
