Ferrum, VA – The SUNY Brockport baseball team collected its first win of the 2020 season on Sunday, defeating Alfred State 12-8. Brockport starts the season 1-3 after the opening weekend trip down to Virginia.
 
Daniel DelGaizo was outstanding in the batter's box for the Green and Gold in the win. He was 2-for-3 at the plate with two triples, three RBI's, and four runs scored.
 
Tom Kretzler rattled off a double in a 2-for-6 effort with the bat, while Ryan Mansell also recorded a double to go with one RBI.
 
Kretzler got the start on the mound, striking out four in just over three innings of action. Matthew Colucci eventually took over on the hill and was credited with the win.
 
DelGaizo's first triple got the Golden Eagles on the board first, bringing two runners home to take a 2-0 lead in the second. They entered the bottom of the fourth inning with a 5-0 lead. Alfred State had a big four run inning in the fourth to cut the lead to just one run.
 
DelGaizo's second triple would spark another spurt for Brockport, as the team increased its lead to 10-4 going into the bottom of the seventh. Despite a solid finish with the bats from Alfred State, Brockport held on for its first win of the year.
 
The Golden Eagles are on the road again next weekend for matchups against Kean University and Bard College. They face Kean at 3pm on Friday before meeting Bard for an 11am start on Saturday.
