CORTLAND, N.Y. - Cortland scored three or more runs in five different innings and the nationally sixth-ranked Red Dragons routed visiting Brockport, 22-3, in a SUNYAC baseball matchup. 
 
Cortland (21-7, 8-1 SUNYAC) finished with 24 hits from a total of 15 players, and the Red Dragons' nine doubles in the contest are the most by the team since hitting nine doubles at Hampden-Sydney in the 2007 season opener. 
 
Cortland scored six runs in the first, one in the second and three in the third to take a 10-0 lead. Brockport (19-4, 7-2 SUNYAC) scored all three of its runs in the top of the fifth, but the Red Dragons answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning and three more in the sixth to go up 17-3. Cortland's final five runs came in the bottom of the eighth. 
 
Antonio Pragana (Hopewell Junction/John Jay) finished 3-for-4 with a triple, two doubles, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored. Scott Giordano (Croton-on-Hudson/Croton-Harmon) was 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, four RBI and three runs and Ben Rhodes (Amsterdam) went 2-for-3 with two doubles and four RBI. 
 
James Varian (Hopewell Junction/Trinity-Pawling) homered and finished 2-for-4 with a walk, RBI and three runs scored. Danny Coleman (Saratoga Springs) ended 2-for-4 with a double, walk, two RBI and two runs, Andrew Michalski (Buffalo/St. Francis) was 2-for-4 with a double, RBI and three runs, and Matt Funk (Pine Plains) went 2-fo-5 with a double and three RBI. 
 
Cortland starter Zack Durant (Verona/V-V-S) went five innings for the victory, giving up three runs on five hits with three strikeouts and one walk. Now 5-0 on the season, Durant allowed his first earned runs of the season in a span of 31 and two thirds innings. Will McCarthy (Farmingdale) allowed hit and fanned one over two scoreless innings. Brendan Disonell (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) gave up just one walk in the eighth and Dylan Beers (Woodbury/Monroe-Woodbury) tossed a perfect ninth with one strikeout. 
 
Brockport scored its three runs in the fifth on a Jake Sisto leadoff homer and a James Houlahan two-run single. That threat was extinguished, however, on a lineout unassisted double play by first baseman Funk to end the inning. The Golden Eagles only had one runner reach scoring position over the other eight innings when Justin Pangburn walked with one out in the third and moved to second on a groundout. Brockport starter Matt McGowan allowed seven runs on eight hits over an inning and a third. 
 
Cortland's six-run first included a Giordano RBI single, a Funk sac fly and a Rhodes three-run double. Coleman singled in a run in the second, and in the third Pragana doubled home a run and Giordano hit a two-run double. The Red Dragons' four runs in the fifth came via a Pragana RBI triple, Giordano sac fly liner, a Coleman RBI double and a Funk RBI single. 
 
Varian homered to lead off the sixth, with the other two runs that inning resulting from RBI doubles by Rhodes and Michalski. Cortland's five-run eighth inning - one that included a 24-minute delay due to sleet - was highlighted by a Funk RBI double and RBI singles by Dylan Mackenzie (Canandaigua/Canandaigua Academy), Nick Chemotti (Warners/West Genesee), Dylan Tierney (East Greenbush/Columbia) and Anthony Pericolosi (Rockville Centre/South Side).
