Sherburne-Earlville 4, Clinton 3

CLINTON – Sherburne-Earlville became the first Section III team to beat Clinton this season knocking off the state-ranked Warriors Thursday.

Marauders pitcher Matt Smith did not strike out or walk a batter, and the S-E defense played error-free behind Smith.

Aiding Smith on offense were Mick Khoury and Carter Cole. Khoury had a two-out RBI single in the third to give the Marauders a 2-1 lead, and Carter Cole’s two-run single in the fourth provided S-E with the winning runs.

Smith finished the game retiring the final six Clinton batters in order, and the win moves S-E within one game of the Warriors in the Center State Conference Division One race. “We fielded every groundball and every flyball, that’s how good our defense was,” said S-E coach Brian Hicks. “We did a great job fielding the ball, and this is probably my biggest coaching win, ever.”

The Marauders are now 6-2 in division play. Number nine hitter, Felix Rodriguez, and Cole had two hits.
