Canastota 8, S-E 6
SHERBURNE – Canastota scored three runs in the top of the sixth inning to pull away for good and defeat Sherburne-Earlville on the Marauders' opening league game of the season.
Ryan Mitchell had two triples for Canastota, who took advantage of four S-E errors and seven base on balls. "We were a little shaky the first time out," said S-E coach Brian Hicks. "Canastota hit the ball so well in key situations. A walk and an error followed by a triple, and everyone (on the basepaths) is gone."
Matt Piazzi had a three-run triple in the second inning for S-E to tie the game at 3-3. Cory Musician and Joe Moses added two hits apiece.
