Greene 6, Oxford 5
GREENE – Greene rallied from an early three-run deficit, and plated the winning run in the bottom of the seventh – the fourth straight time a Trojans contest went down to the final at-bat.
Oxford forged a 5-5 tie in the top of the seventh when Ryan Moore singled home Kyle Ferrington.
Greene scored the winner with one out when Gage Crumb scored Braeden Williams with a single. “Last year, I’m not sure we would have won this game,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “We’ve been in games like these four times now, and the kids are confident they can win close games.”
Oxford scored three in the third to lead 4-1. Tom Gould and Derrick Head had back-to-back fielder’s choices, and a passed ball accounted for the third run.
Greene tied the game two innings later. Scott Gorton and Nate Whittaker hit consecutive three-baggers, Dan Carlin had a sacrifice fly, Nic Puglisi doubled, and Williams reached on an error to score Puglisi.
Puglisi allowed five hits in a route-going victory. He also had two hits along with Gorton and Crumb.
P.J. Hubman had two hits for Oxford. “Oxford showed a lot of courage and had clutch hitting to stay in the game,” Gorton said. “We both had clutch hitting, luckily we had it last.”
Greene (2-1-1) hosts B-G (2-2) at 1 p.m. today.

Afton 7, G-MU 1
COPES CORNER – Afton’s unbeaten string reached six games as the Crimson Knights won on back-to-back days by the same score.
Mike Muller had a two-run single during a five-run first inning for Afton, and Adam Rupakus along with Cameron Oswald added ribbies.
Rupakus had three hits and Casey Mohrein two to support winning pitcher Tyler Lawrence. “I think we gave them a good fight, that one inning just hurt us,” said G-MU coach Jim Johnson. “Both sides’ defenses made plays, and I was not unhappy with our defense at all. It showed today that they had played five or six games and we had played one. As well, they are a good team.”
G-MU is at Harpursville today.
