Baseball
Unadilla Valley 10, Walton 3
WALTON – Unadilla Valley pulled away with five runs in the fifth inning to open its 2012 season with a victory.
Kurt Haycook’s second double of the game drove in two runs in the fifth to support winning pitcher Brandon Miles. Miles had six strikeouts and scattered six hits in a route-going effort. “UV has a nice team with some good players and some very strong arms,” said Walton coach Gary Backus.
Brett Smith doubled twice and went 3-for-4 to lead the Storm. Justin Hofer and Haycook added two hits.

Harpursville 18, B-G 0
BAINBRIDGE – Harpursville won for the second time in as many nights against Chenango County opposition blanking Bainbridge-Guilford Tuesday.
Harpursville erupted for 12 runs in the fifth inning to put the game out of reach. The first two Hornets reached on errors to start the uprising. “We don’t commit those two errors to start the fifth, maybe things work out differently,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “But we have to hit the ball better. We had just five hits in the game.”
Austin Bauerle doubled twice for B-G, and Lucas Butcher also had two hits.
Jon Arnold and Jim Kelley led Harpursville with two hits apiece.
B-G hosts Unatego on Thursday.

Deposit 7, Greene 5
GREENE – Deposit’s defense made two run-saving defensive gems in the second inning that halted Greene’s potential momentum, and allowed the Lumberjacks an opportunity to rally for a two-run victory Tuesday.
“Those were big plays when we had a 4-2 lead, and thought we had a chance to break the game open,” said Greene coach Steve Burghardt.
The first play was a hard grounder to third by the Trojans’ Joe Beckwith that was snagged on a short-hop for a five-to-three putout, and the second play was a diving catch in the outfield that Burghardt said was worth of an ESPN highlight.
Deposit overcame the early deficit with five runs in the fifth inning. The first two runs came as a result of the Trojans’ only two errors, and Will Lester’s two-run single gave Deposit the lead.
Kurt Bartholomew led Greene with three hits in four at-bats.

Delhi 16, Afton 14 (6 innings)
AFTON – Eighteen total runs were scored by Delhi and Afton in the third inning alone, and the Bulldogs emerged with a MAC win on Tuesday in a game called after six innings due to darkness.
Brandon Snyder had three hits for Delhi including a three-run homer in a 10-run third to give his club a 14-3 lead.
Afton battled back with eight runs of its own keyed by Cameron Oswald’s grand slam. “I would say the pitchers did a decent job of throwing grounders and flyballs, but neither defense performed today,” said Afton coach Ron Rapp, who charted 18 errors in the game. “Really, this game should have been a lot lower scoring.”
Oswald drove in five runs to lead Afton, and Mark Viviano was 2-for-2 with four runs scored. Afton hosts Hancock on Thursday.

Owego 8, Norwich 2
NORWICH – Norwich was unable to recover from a slow start giving up four Owego runs in the first inning in an opening-game loss to the Indians Tuesday.
Victoria Young had two runs scored for Owego, who took advantage of two Norwich errors to score its early runs. “I think it was some first-inning jitters,” said Norwich coach Scott Moore. “Their pitcher (Emily Warfel) did a good job of keeping us off balance changing speeds.”
Norwich scored its two runs in the bottom of the sixth when Shannon Moore delivered a two-run single. Molly Moore went 2-for-3, and Shelby Condon added a double.
Norwich pitcher Jaime Berger allowed just four hits and struck out seven.

G-MU 17, Downsville 0 (5 innings)
COPES CORNERS – G-MU started the game with an 11-run frame, and coasted to a five-inning shutout of Downsville in Tuesday’s non-league game.
After three base on balls loaded the bases for G-MU in the first, Alicia Sebeck smacked a grand slam to move her club in front. Sebeck finished with a team-high five RBI. Whitney Gilbert was 3-for-3, and winning pitcher Marissa Melrose had two hits and two runs scored.
Melrose gave up three hits and struck out nine in earning the victory. “Marissa has really improved from last year. She has a lot more power and control, and that has allowed me to move people around,” said G-MU coach Tina Cole. “We have a much stronger team behind her.”
