Baseball
Norwich 9, Greene 0
GREENE – Norwich’s first offering of the season will be a tough one to top.
Senior Ben Barnes threw a complete-game no-hitter, and picked up two key defensive gems in the seventh inning from outfielders Brendan McInerney and Dennis Oralls to preserve the opening-day victory Monday afternoon at Greene.
“Ben really worked his two-seam fastball in and around the corners, and he kept them off balance with his curve,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “We also played outstanding defense behind him.”
Grady Thompson supported Barnes with a 3-for-4 day and two runs scored. Colby Griffin had two hits and two ribbies for Norwich.
Barnes struck out eight in the victory as Norwich moves into STAC league play Wednesday when it hosts Owego.
