CORTLAND, N.Y. – Courtney Kadish (East Amherst/Williamsville North) homered twice and drove in eight runs as Cortland defeated Oswego, 12-2, in the opening game of a SUNYAC doubleheader. The Red Dragons completed the sweep with a 10-0 win in the nightcap and hit a combined six homers in the doubleheader. Both games were called after five innings due to the eight-run rule.

The games were originally scheduled to be played in Oswego Saturday, but were moved to Cortland Sunday due to weather and field conditions. Cortland improved to 25-13 overall and finished the SUNYAC regular season with a 14-4 league mark. The Red Dragons will be the second seed at the six-team, double-elimination SUNYAC Tournament May 1-4 at Oneonta.

GAME 1: Cortland 12, Oswego 2 (5 inn.) (Box Score)

Kadish finished 3-for-3 with two homers, a single and eight RBI – the most runs batted in by a Cortland player since Carin Piacente's school-record 10 RBI versus Fredonia in April of 2003. Kadish hit a three-run homer in the second inning, a two-run single in the third and another three-run homer in the fourth.

Cortland's first three hits were all homers during a six-run second inning. Alicia Hibbard (Canastota) led off the inning with a blast that stayed inside the left-field foul pole.

With two outs, Jamie Bucci (Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow) reached on an error and Diane Cork (Wayland/Wayland-Cohocton) hit a two-run homer to center.

The Red Dragons added two in the third on Kadish's two-run single up the middle with the bases loaded. In the fourth, Meaghan Kohler (Franklin, NJ/Warren Hills Regional) hit a one-out double and scored on a Hibbard RBI single. After a walk and a fielder's choice, Kadish lined a ball over the left-center fence to give Cortland a 12-0 lead.

Oswego's runs came on a Deanna Apps RBI double in the third and a Sammie Schroeter RBI double in the fourth.

She gave up four runs on two hits and two walks.

GAME 2: Cortland 10, Oswego 0 (5 inn.) (Box Score)
