Bardenett scattered six hits and struck out two batters allowing just the one run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning to earn his ninth win of the season tying the school record for wins in a season.

Against Oneonta, Weakley grounded out to third base in the first inning with runners on the corners allowing
Kyle Tracy (Plainview, NY/Bethpage) to score from third and then ripped a double down the right field line with two outs in the sixth inning to score
Pete Wilson (Rochester, NY/Irondequoit) from second for the game-winning run.
After Brockport (24-12 Overall, 10-6 SUNYAC) took the early lead, Bardenett kept the Red Dragons (14-19, 7-9) off the board until the sixth inning when Oneonta tied the score after consecutive singles to start the inning and a sacrifice fly later in the inning.
Weakley's double in the bottom of the sixth regained the lead for the Golden Eagles.
Corey Booth (Middletown, NY/Minisink Valley) had two hits to lead Brockport while Tracy,
Jake Coleman (Hilton, NY/Hilton) and
Nick Bunce (Rochester, NY/Greece Athena) each added a hit.
Justin McCarthy (Mohegan Lake, NY/Lakeland) worked the ninth inning for Brockport to pick up his 9th save of the season.
