Knights Swept By Fredonia

Box Score

FREDONIA, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo sophomore infielder Audrey Minton finished with four hits, including a home run, but it wasn't enough as the Knights fell in consecutive games to host Fredonia, dropping game one, 3-0, before falling in game two, 6-5. 

GAME ONE - Fredonia 3, Geneseo 0

  • The Knights nearly got on the board in the second inning when junior infielder Taylor Riccardi roped a single, but the Knights' run was cut down at the plate to keep the game scoreless. 
  • Fredonia scored all three of its runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, stringing together four hits to take the lead. 
  • Geneseo threatened in the top of the fifth inning, putting two runners on with no outs, but could not drive in any runs as the Blue Devils completed the shutout. 

GAME TWO - Fredonia 6, Geneseo 5

  • The Knights took a 1-0 lead when sophomore infielder Leah VanDerwarker led off the game with a solo home run. 
  • Geneseo added three more runs in the third inning when senior outfielder Samantha Seeger drove in one with an RBI double and Minton followed two batters later with a two-run homer, making it 4-0.
