Fredonia senior Katelyn Dennis (Webster/Webster Schroeder) broke the team school record for career homers March 16 in a 5-3 loss to Lakeland at Hancock Park. The Blue Devils (6-4) also lost to 5-1 to Framingham State earlier that day.
Dennis cracked her 10th homer as a Blue Devil to give her team a 3-0 lead in the top of the third. She surpassed Heather Mercer (2001-04) and Katie Bartkowiak (2010-13), who each had nine homers in their college careers.
The two-run homer by Dennis was preceded by an RBI double by Cassie Herman (Maybrook/Valley Central) and a leadoff single by Makenzie Keeler (Jamesville/Jamesville Dewitt), who got the three-run inning started.
Dennis, Keeler, and Eva FitzSimmons (Fairport/Fairport) had two hits each as part of a 12-hit attack. The Blue Devils left 11 runners stranded.
Sam Seegar (North Tonawanda/Starpoint) was the losing pitcher while Katie Yudin (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool) took the loss against Framingham State in Friday's first game. Dennis accounted for Fredonia's only run in the opener -- she had four hits in the doubleheader -- with an RBI single in the last of the first after Keeler walked and stole second.
