Greene advances to Class C finals
Greene 7, Elmira Notre Dame 2
ELMIRA – Greene made it three out of four on two fronts.
The Trojans (17-4) won a Class C playoff game at Elmira Notre Dame for the third time in four years, and consequently, will play in their third Section IV title game in four seasons.
Greene rapped out 13 hits against the top-seeded Crusaders, and opened the game with three runs in the top of the first to create the early advantage.
Taylor Ellis, Morgan Ellis, and Kylie Schaff had consecutive RBI singles in the opening inning, a marked improvement over Wednesday’s win over Seton Catholic Central when scoring and hits were tough to come by.
“It wasn’t just that were getting hits, it was the way we were hitting them,” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “We hit line drives or balls on the ground all day. Even when we made outs, we were hitting the ball hard.”
Shawn Ayers, one of the heroes from Wednesday’s victory over the Saints, added an RBI double in he third, and Natalie Greene’s RBI double in the fourth gave Greene a 5-2 lead.
Morgan Ellis led with a 3-for-4 day at the plate. Greene, Rebecca Hanrahan, Taylor Ellis, and Schaff all finished with 2-for-4 outings. Hanrahan earned the victory striking out eight, walking one, and giving up six hits against the high-powered Notre Dame offense.
“If you look at (Elmira’s) stats, they have four or five kids hitting over .400,” Smith said. “Rebecca pitched a great game, and really, it could have been a 7-0 game.”
Elmira scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the third. A dropped infield fly with two outs – Greene’s lone error – extended the inning and led to Sydney Diamon’s two-run double.
Greene plays either Edison or Union Springs in the Class C title game at 4 p.m. Saturday at the BAGSAI Complex in Binghamton.
