BROCKPORT, N.Y. - Shelby Perry hit a pinch-hit, walk-off homer in the bottom of the seventh in the first game, and Cortland's rally from an 8-2 deficit fell just short in the second contest, as host Brockport won a pair of one-run games versus nationally 17th-ranked Cortland, 4-3 and 8-7.

Cortland fell to 24-10 overall and 13-3 in the SUNYAC. The Red Dragons close their regular-season league schedule Saturday with a noon doubleheader at Geneseo and will host Ithaca in a makeup doubleheader next Tuesday at 3 p.m. Cortland will host the six-team SUNYAC tournament May 4-7.

Brockport (18-18, 7-9 SUNYAC) kept its SUNYAC playoff hopes alive with the wins. The Golden Eagles need to win twice Saturday versus Oswego to have a chance to earn one of the league tournament berths.

Perry ended the game with one out in the bottom of the seventh with a solo homer down the left field line. Brockport grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first on consecutive RBI singles by Jessica Koneski, Karleigh Eaton and Alison Missavage. Cortland tied the game in the top of the third. Kelly O'Gorman (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) singled and stole second. Andrea Schoonmaker (Marlboro) singled to left, and a throwing error allowed O'Gorman to score and Schoonmaker to advance to third. Rosie Phillips (Geneva/Our Lady of Mercy) drove home Schoonmaker with a bunt single, and Phillips eventually scored on an error.

The Red Dragons had two good chances to take the lead later in the contest. Cortland put runners on second and third in the sixth on a Skyler Hoyt (Endicott/Union-Endicott) one-out infield single and a two-out O'Gorman double, but a pop-out ended the inning. In the seventh, a Phillips single, an error on a fielder's choice and a tag up on a flyout set up runners on first and third, but Brockport pitcher Becky Knorr struck out the next hitter to keep the game tied.

Jamie Lachall (Philadelphia, PA/Sun Valley) settled down after the tough first inning and did not allow a hit from the second through the fifth inning. She finished giving up six hits and four runs in six and a third innings with two strikeouts and two walks. Knorr went the distance for the hosts and allowed eight hits and three runs, two earned, with four strikeouts and no walks.

O'Gorman finished 2-for-3 and Phillips went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Cortland. Lindsay Wachna was 1-for-2 with a walk for Brockport.

Cortland got two runs back in the third on RBI grounders by Niki Barbato (East Meadow/Holy Trinity) and Mikayla Shade (Glenmont/Bethlehem), but Brockport posted two runs in the bottom of the fourth on a steal of home by Cullen during a first-and-third play and a Missavage RBI single.

The Red Dragons rallied for five runs in the top of the fifth to get back into the contest. With two outs and a runner on, Chelsea Palma (Holbrook/Sachem North) hit a pinch-hit single and Hannah Thornhill (Heuvelton) hit an RBI single up the middle. Pinch hitter Hannah Feldman (Buffalo/Sweet Home) followed with an RBI single to right, and O'Gorman launched a three-run homer off Brockport reliever Knorr to center to cut Brockport's lead to 8-7.

Cortland had runners on first and third with two outs in the sixth but couldn't drive in the tying run. After two hard-hit outs to start the seventh, O'Gorman reached on an infield single, but a groundout ended the game.
