The College at Brockport baseball team defeated the Cortland Red Dragons for the second time in as many days to take the three-game series against the No. 1 team in the nation. The Golden Eagles dropped game one to the Red Dragons 7-4, but rallied for a 10-8 win in 11 innings in game two. Jake Coleman (Hilton, NY/Hilton) and Kyle Tracy (Plainview, NY/Bethpage) each had three-hit games in the nightcap to power Brockport to victory.

Brockport improves to 12-10 overall and 3-7 in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC).

In a game that featured 48 total players in the boxscore, Brockport scored three runs in the ninth inning to take a 7-6 lead. The Red Dragons evened the score with a run in the bottom half of the inning to extend the game. In the 10th inning with the bases loaded, Jamie Boronczyk (Syracuse, NY/Corcoran) was hit by a pitch to regain the lead for Brockport. Once again, the Red Dragons answered in the bottom of the inning but the Golden Eagles pulled away for good in the 11th. Coleman singled to third base to score Mike Gianni (Jamesville, NY/Jamesville-Dewitt) for what proved to be the game-winning run.

Travis Renwick (Middletown, NY/Chapel Field Christian), Brockport's starting pitcher for game one of the series on Friday, pitched two innings of relief work to earn his third victory of the year. Renwick, who tossed six innings on Friday, allowed one run on two hits to pick up the win.

Game one saw Brockport take an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Tracy, Pete Wilson (Rochester, NY/West Irondequoit) and Nick Bunce (Rochester, NY/Greece Athena) all scored on walks in the inning. Cortland got on the board with a run in the bottom of the first inning and scored four runs in the second and two more in the third to build a 7-3 lead.

Wesley Burghardt (Chittenango, NY/Chittenango) scored in the sixth inning but the offense stalled in the final frame as Brockport dropped game one. Bunce finished the game with a team-high three hits, his eighth multi-hit game of the year.

Game two proved to be a different story for the Golden Eagles. Cortland struck first with a run in the bottom of the first inning. Shawn Peake (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool) connected on his first collegiate home run in the third inning with a shot to left field, tying the game at one.

After Cortland took a 3-1 lead in the third, Peake came through once again for Brockport in the fourth. The sophomore, making his fifth start of the season, drove a pitch to right field to score Dan Hurlimann (Rochester, NY/Hilton). Colin Grande (Clifton Park, NY/Shenendehowa) gave Brockport a 4-3 lead in the inning with a two-run single up the middle, scoring Peake and Burghardt.

Cortland regained the lead and held a 6-4 advantage heading into the ninth inning. Tracy led off the inning with a single to center. With one out, Bunce was intentionally walked and was relieved by Nick Pilotti (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool) as a pinch runner. Bradley Westling (Dunkirk, NY/Dunkirk), making just his fourth appearance of the year, delivered on a pinch hit single to right field, scoring two and tying the game at six. With two outs, Gianni singled up the middle to score Corey Hamula (Elmira, NY/Elmira Southside) to take the lead.

Cortland sent the game into extra innings with a two-out run in the ninth. Boronczyk was faced with an 0-2 count with two outs in the 10th before being hit with the pitch and give Brockport an 8-7 lead. Cortland scored another two-out run in the 10th to knot the game once again.

The 11th inning proved to be the final frame as Brockport pulled away. Gianni was hit by a pitch to open the inning and advanced on a sacrifice bunt and moved to third on a ground out. Coleman's single scored Gianni to give the Golden Eagles the 9-8 lead. Wilson gave Brockport an insurance run with a single up the middle to score Coleman. Renwick sat down the Red Dragons in order in the 11th and struck out the final batter of the game on a called third strike.

Brockport will take a break from its SUNYAC schedule with a nonconference home game against Ithaca on April 10.
