ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Hannah Feldman (Buffalo/Sweet Home) hit a solo homer with two outs in the top of the seventh inning to lift Cortland past Rochester, 6-5, in the second game of a non-league doubleheader. Rochester won the first game, 3-1, with a three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh capped by Alizah Ayon's two-run walk-off homer after Cortland starter Cady Walts (Cortland) started the game with six perfect innings.

It appears Cortland's games at Potsdam Friday and Plattsburgh Saturday may be rescheduled due to the weather. More information will be announced later.

Rochester 3, Cortland 1

The story for the first six innings was Cortland starter Walts, who retired the first 18 batters she faced, 10 by strikeout. The Red Dragons opened the game with a leadoff homer by Taylor Felicello (Marlboro) but couldn't get anything else across the plate against Rochester starter Elizabeth Bourne.

Cortland finished with eight hits as Tori Scharff (Poughkeepsie/Arlington) went 3-for-3, Skyler Hoyt (Endicott/Union-Endicott) was 2-for-3 and Felicello went 2-for-4. The Red Dragons left seven runners on, including the bases loaded in the first and runners on second base in the second and third innings.

Rochester's Harleigh Kaczegowicz broke up Walts' no-hitter with a leadoff single to left in the seventh. Pinch hitter Meghan Bocyck followed with a bunt that she beat out. On the play, Kaczegowicz continued on to third and the throw to third was wild to allow her to score the tying run. Ayon ended the game with a two-run homer to left center.

Cortland 6, Rochester 5

Cortland (7-6) held a 5-2 lead entering the bottom of the sixth but the Yellowjackets (3-9) tied the game on one-out single by Anne Marie Cortes and Marissa Russo and Kaczegowicz's three-run homer to left. In the top of the seventh Feldman hit an 0-2 pitch over the fence in left center for her second homer of the season.

Walts, who pitched the final three innings, retired Rochester in order in the bottom of the seventh to improve to 5-1 on the season. She allowed four hits and a walk and struck out five. Lindsey Richards (Liverpool/Cicero-North Syracuse) made her first collegiate start and gave up two runs on six hits with a walk and three strikeouts over four innings.

Rochester went up 2-0 in the first on a Tori Anne Hahn two-out, two-run double, but Cortland tied the game with a run as a result of an error in the second and a run in the third on an Ashley Votta (Marlboro) single, a Felicello double and a Jess Miller (Campbell Hall/Goshen) pinch-hit RBI groundout.

Averee May (Highland Falls/James I. O'Neill) led off the top of the fifth with a single and Votta hit a two-run homer off the foul pole in right for her first Red Dragon round-tripper and a 4-2 Cortland lead. Later in the inning Kiley Besko (Poughkeepsie/Arlington) walked, was bunted to second by Feldman and scored on an error after a fielder's choice out at home when the Yellowjackets tried the throw out a runner at second.

Votta finished 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored and Felicello went 2-for-4, while Feldman, May and Hoyt each were 1-for-3. Ayon was 3-for-4 to lead Rochester, with Kaczegowicz 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs and Russo 2-for-3. Bourne took the loss in relief of Addy Szczerba despite allowing only one hit, one walk and one run in three innings.
