The St. John Fisher college softball team dropped a pair of games Wednesday to visiting Brockport on a cold April afternoon.  The home squad held a 5-3 advantage heading into the seventh inning in game one before the Golden Eagles exploded for seven runs en route to a 10-5 victory.  In game two Fisher jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning but Brockport proved to have the better offensive output on their way to a 5-2 win.

Fisher falls to 15-7 on the season, while Brockport improves to 16-5.

Game 1: Brockport 10, Fisher 5

Trailing 1-0 in the second inning Samantha Poules singled to centerfield to drive in Jessica D'Angelo and knot up the game at 1.

In the bottom half of the third Meghan Burns led off with a double and was knocked around the very next batter by Jennifer Knaak to give the home squad a 2-1 advantage.

After swapping zeroes in the fourth Brockport fought back to even the score in the top half of the next inning.  That tie score would not last long though as Burns led off the fifth with yet another double, later being hit around on a 2-run shot by D'Angelo to give Fisher a 4-2 edge.

The scrappy Golden Eagles sliced the Cardinals lead to just one in the sixth but Jessie Smyrski launched a solo shot to left to give Fisher a 5-3 cushion heading into the final frame.

Brockport would however load the bases with no outs to begin the inning and quickly scored two runs to tie the game before erupting for five more to put the game out of reach.

D'Angelo ended the game 2-3 with two RBI.

Halie Schoff was credited with the loss to fall to 8-3 on the season.
 
Game 2: Brockport 5, Fisher 2

Fisher held an early 1-0 in the first inning on a Lauren Owens single up the middle but the visitors would take over the lead in the second inning and never looked back.

Facing a 4-1 deficit in the bottom of the fifth D'Angelo notched her third RBI of the day to score Burns and cut the Golden Eagles lead to 4-2 but that is as close as the Cardinals would come.

Burns paced the Fisher offense going 2-3 in the game.

Lauren Wesolowski went the distance on the mound falling to 2-3 on the year.

The Cardinals will travel to Houghton College Thursday for a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m.
