The College at Brockport Softball team tallied 20 hits including three home runs, five doubles and one triple en route to earning two conference wins Wednesday afternoon as they beat State University of New York Athletic Conference opponent Fredonia 9-1 and 10-9 in a doubleheader in Fredonia.

In game two of the series, Brockport (16-14 overall, 8-6 conference) jumped out to an early lead 4-0 lead in the top of the first as three straight hits scored four runs.  Senior Kelly Proper (Silver Springs, NY/Letchworth) tripled to right field, freshman Karleigh Eaton (Endicott, NY/Union Endicott) hit a double down the left field line and junior Delaney Buckley (Utica, NY/Utica Notre Dame) hit a home run, all with two outs in the top of the first.

After a scoreless fifth inning, Brockport scored their final run of the game in the sixth after back-to-back doubles from Lazzaro and Proper.  Fredonia rallied in the bottom of the seventh, scoring four runs off of three hits.  The Blue Devils had the tying run on second with one out but junior Jaime Berger (Norwich, NY/Norwich) secured the win for the Golden Eagles, forcing a pop-out and a strike out to end the game.

Proper finished the second game a perfect three-for-three at the plate with four runs batted in and crossing the plate three times herself.  Berger struck out four over five and 1/3 innings in her eighth win of the season.

In game one of the doubleheader, Brockport was unable to get a runner on base until Balfe led off the third inning with a double up the middle.  Balfe advanced to third on a single from senior Brianna Ferchen (Oneonta, NY/Oneonta).  Both runners would score as Harris ripped a double to left field, giving Brockport a 2-0 lead after three innings.
