SHERBURNE – The varsity Sherburne-Earlville baseball team hosted Clinton on May 17, as they found themselves in a close showdown, ultimately losing 5-3.

The first inning saw the evenly matched teams each score one run a piece, tying the score at 1-1. Clinton would then secure the lead in the third, following another run.

Up by one, and entering the fourth inning, the SE bats awoke to hit home two runners. With a tied score at 3-3 heading into the closing innings, it was expected to potentially head into extra innings.

Clinton would have pitcher plans when they strung together a two run seventh inning, to steal the game out from under the Marauders.

SE would commit five errors on the night, ultimately allowing Clinton to get in position to score the winning runs.
