Greene 4, Chenango Forks 1
GREENE – Greene won its home tournament for the first time defeating two-time defending champion Chenango Forks in the first game, then knocking off 2008 Section IV Class C finalist Tioga in the title game.
The Trojans never trailed in the championship game, although a two-run homer in the sixth by Tioga’s Kari Walkley drew the Tigers to within 3-2.
Greene answered back immediately. Erin Smith doubled, and winning pitcher Rebecca Hanrahan moved the margin back to three runs with a two-run round-tripper.
“It was a great experience for us to go against a top-caliber pitcher (Tioga’s Sarah Wayson),” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “We didn’t stop playing when the score became close and we came through. We’re having better at-bats, we’re making contact, and our confidence as a team continues to rise.”
Greene established the early lead getting a two-run triple from Caitlin Willis in the fourth.
Hanrahan had 13 strikeouts and allowed four hits to match Tioga’s Wayson, who struck out nine and surrendered five Greene hits.
Winners of five straight, Emily Pierce was 3-for-3 with an RBI to pace Greene against Forks, and Haley MacLaren added a 2-for-3 day. Hanrahan struck out a career-high 16 and gave up three Blue Devils hits.
Down 1-0 to Forks early on, MacLaren’s RBI double scored Amy David in the third, and MacLaren came home with the go-ahead run after Amanda Weeks’ single.
Oxford blanked twice
Oxford dropped back-to-back shutouts Friday and Saturday losing to Tioga (9-0) in the first game, and to Chenango Forks (14-0) in the Greene Tournament consolation game.
Jackie Heggie had 15 strikeouts in the first game to offset 13 base on balls. Tioga strung its runs together with opportunistic baserunning, while drawing walks in a five-run fifth inning.
Brittany Spencer had two hits and an RBI for Chenango Forks, who benefited from eight Oxford errors. Oxford plays at Afton Tuesday.

SIDNEY – Sherburne-Earlville moved over the .500 mark (3-2 overall) sweeping a doubleheader at Sidney Saturday afternoon.
Joe Moses allowed four runs for the victory, and Jake Sampson had a team-high four RBI on a pair of two-baggers. Mike Doscher drove in three runs and had two stolen bases, and Caleb Brown finished 3-for-4.
S-E’s bats were even better in the nightcap contest. Stephen Buddenhagen went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a triple, four RBI and three runs scored. Doscher, batting leadoff, had four hits in five at-bats scoring three runs, while Sampson had two RBI and Moses drove in two runs.
Caleb Brown fanned 13 in six innings allowing two hits for the win, and Randy Wilcox struck out the side to wrap of the Marauders’ win.
“They’re young and well eventually be a strong team, while we’re at the other end of the spectrum,” said S-E coach Brian Hicks, who noted his roster contains five third-year varsity players. “We worked hard on our hitting all week, and it showed.”
The Marauders host Morrisville-Eaton today.
