CLERMONT, Fla. -- Fredonia State won its first two games of the 2026 season Wednesday before falling in a third game, which which had been halted on Monday because of a thunderstorm.

The Blue Devils (2-6) opened Wednesday with its most complete offensive showing of the season, a 9–1 run‑rule win over Knox built on 11 hits and pressure throughout the lineup. Madison Lowe set the tone with a 3‑for‑3, 2‑run, 1‑RBI performance and eight strikeouts in the circle. Kayla Lynn added two hits, two runs, and a stolen base, while Brooke Caldwell delivered a triple, a sacrifice fly, and three RBI. Kirsten Lajewski chipped in a 2‑for‑3 day with a double as the Blue Devils scored in four straight innings.

The momentum carried into a 2–0 shutout of Clarkson, where Kendall Phillips authored a three‑hit complete game with just one walk and one strikeout, facing only 27 batters . Offensively, Avery Hill doubled and scored, Caldwell doubled home the opening run, and Mia Eickhoff added an RBI on a ball put in play that forced a defensive miscue. Fredonia's defense backed Phillips with its cleanest effort of the day, committing just one harmless error and stranding only six Clarkson runners.

In the resumed game against Farmingdale State, halted Monday due to lightning and heavy rain, Fredonia generated nine hits but fell 3–1 despite another multi‑hit effort from Lowe and an RBI double from Hill . Lowe reached base three times, stole a base, and scored the Blue Devils' lone run, while Lynn, Caldwell, North, Eickhoff, and Reed each added hits. Lowe worked five innings in the circle before Sabrina Edwards‑Smith tossed a scoreless sixth.
