Richfield Springs 2, G-MU 1
RICHFIELD SPRINGS – Richfield Springs put together a seventh-inning rally to pull out a win over G-MU Monday.
Kyle Richunsky’s RBI single tied the game, and Keegan Wheelock hit a game-winning single. Four of Richfield Springs’ six hits came in the last inning.
“It was definitely a pitching battle, and their guy struck out 10,” said G-MU coach Rick Mohrein. “Our guy threw strikes in the last inning, they just hit the ball well.”
G-MU’s only run came in the third. Corin Todd reached base on an infield single, and he moved to third after an error and a stolen base. Todd came home on a passed ball.
“A one-run lead is precarious at best,” Mohrein said. “We knew their pitcher good, we just missed a few chances.”

Miles gave up seven hits to take the hard-luck loss. “Brandon is throwing well and is doing enough to win games,” said UV coach Tom Locke. “We just can’t get the bats going.”

Unatego 7, Greene 5
OTEGO – Unatego scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to snap a 5-5 tie and defeat Unatego Monday.
After back-to-back intentional walks loaded the bases, a throwing error to home base allowed the go-ahead run to score for the Spartans. Jake Barnhart followed that play up with an insurance RBI.
Greene threatened with one out in the top of the seventh when Curtis Richards drew his fourth walk of the game, and Jeff Carlin stroked his second hit of the game. Winning pitcher Craig Shelton induced a pop out, and Trevor Parrish’s well-struck line drive to left-center was snagged by the Unatego leftfielder for the final out.
“The kids battled like crazy and came back from a 4-1 deficit to take the lead,” said Greene coach Steve Burghardt. “We just couldn’t hold the lead.”
