Bainbridge-Guilford 12, Afton 5

Bainbridge-Guilford came out swing Thursday, scoring three runs in the first inning and 12 in a win against Afton.
The Bobcats began with a lead-off double, followed by a single and another double.
“They hit the ball well in the first inning,” said Afton varsity baseball head coach Ron Rapp,
The game was close after the fourth inning, 6-4, but BG put together four runs in their final at bat to seal the home-field victory.
“They kept picking away each inning then they got the big four in the seventh,” Rapp said, “they kept packing on runs, which is what good teams do.”
Afton struggled with plate discipline and was swinging at ill-advised pitches and managed only eight hits to BG’s 15.
“We could have been a little more disciplined with our sticks today,” Rapp said.
The Bobcat’s Kyle Hanvey had three doubles in the 1:00 match-up in Bainbridge.
Afton plays at home against Walton next, on Tuesday at 4:30.
Bainbridge-Guilford is scheduled for noon today against Unatego at home.

Senior Mason Alford looked poised on the hill as Hancock had only two hits. Alford allowed no runs, struck out six and walked four during his four innings. Unadilla Valley led 2-0 going into the fifth inning.
Dakota Kolvik picked up the win in relief as Hancock took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning, Kolvik sat down the lead-off hitter, then let up a base-hit and issued walk, followed by Eli Horton's home run.

Softball

Adirondack 14 Sherburne-Earlville 5

Adirondack’s Lexi Charbonneau hit for the cycle, driving in six runs in a delayed win at Sherburne-Earlville Thursday.
Charbonneau had a three RBI triple in the first inning, a double, a single and three RBI homerun in the seventh to lead the Cats to retribution.
The Marauders knocked Adirondack out of playoff contention last season with a win on the Cats home diamond.
SE started 2013 with 22 hit in two games. They had six hits coming into their third game this year.
Although SE managed eight hits in the game, delayed two hours due to an umpire scheduling error, head softball coach Scott Fitzpatrick is not pleased with the girls play at the plate.
“The last couple of practices all we've been working on is hitting,” Fitzpatrick said, “For the rest of the week it’s drill, drill, drill... They aren’t going to like me very much, but one way or another I will teach them.”
With the roster shortened by vacationing varsity players, Fitzpatrick was forced to call up two jayvee players for Thursday’s 3:00 ball-game.
“One jayvee player got to run and score. So, she got a little taste of it,” Fitzpatrick said.
Senior Emma Hodge pitched a complete game and went 2-4 leading off the first inning with a triple.
Hodge will take the mound again when Sherburne-Earlville (0-3) plays Canastota at home Monday.
