Norwich stops six-game slide; picks up first STAC win
Baseball
Norwich 10, Whitney Point 7
WHITNEY POINT – Norwich halted a six-game slide winning its first game against STAC competition this season Monday at Whitney Point.
The Tornado scored three big insurance runs in the final frame to provide the final margin of victory. Paddy Law, Tim Clark, and Coates all had doubles, the latter two driving in runs.
“Aside from the fifth inning, we did an outstanding job with our defense and pitching today,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “Our pitchers had just one base on balls, and it was key to not put extra runners on base.”
Clark went 4-for-5 to lead Norwich driving in two runs and scoring two. Shane Thompson finished with two RBI, while Mike Moon went 2-for-4. Amos Parry logged four-plus innings for the win.
Mike McCrone homered twice for Whitney Point driving in three runs.

Otselic Valley 11, George Jr. Republic 7
SOUTH OTSELIC – Otselic Valley didn’t need to do much with its bats in racking up 11 runs Monday in a non-league home victory.
Justin Shapley held the the George Jr. Republic lineup at bay with 14 strikeouts in six innings to earn his first victory, while also drawing the Vikings’ mark even at 2-2. “We took an awful lot of walks early on, and we weren’t going to swing until they threw a strike by us (early in the game),” said OV coach Dave Loomis. “We didn’t swing much. It would have been a really good game if they had found the strike zone.”

Sidney 7, Greene 5
GREENE – Greene committed its only two errors of the game in the seventh inning, and Sidney made the Trojans pay in Monday’s matchup.
One batter reached on a dropped pop-up, and another Warriors batter reached on an infield error. A wild pitch on a swinging third strike loaded the bases for Sidney, however, Aubrey Wood was called out attempting to steal home after catcher’s interference for the second out. Markus Delello made up for that baserunning miscue with a two-run double.
Nate Whittaker took his second straight hard-luck loss. Last week he dropped a similar decision to Unatego. “Both games (Nate) should have won – they did not hit him hard at all,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “We gave them five outs in the last inning, and against a good team, you just can’t do that.”
Don Amell went 3-for-4 on the Greene side driving in three runs. Whittaker and Corey Breck added 2-for-3 days at the plate.

Worcester 11, G-MU 10
COPES CORNERS – A missed sign in the seventh inning led to a runner getting thrown out stealing third, and one less baserunner in scoring position left the Raiders one run short in Monday’s matchup.
“We broke out with our bats and hit it well tonight,” said G-MU coach Jim Johnson. “We walked 11 batters, and I think that was more than the rest of our games combined. You can’t give a team that many baserunners without them earning it.”
Cody Hall had four hits and three RBI in the loss, and Paul Wildfeir added two hits.
Five Worcester batters who drew walks ended up scoring runs, Johnson said.
