OCO Elites shutout Hellcats at home

NORWICH – The Chenango Hellcats bumped up a level to play the U20 team of the OCO Elites, out of the Unadilla Valley area on Thursday, June 23.
It was in fact the The OCO Elites who would walk away victorious in the contest when they defeated The Hellcats 6-0.
The Elites wasted no time in gaining the lead –something they would keep the entire game– when they ran home two scores early in the first inning.
The pitching for both sides would remain on par to each other as both looked to find the edge in the game.
Nate Scheer of The Hellcats would stand on the mound for four innings, as he would strikeout seven of the Elites batters, only walking three. The Hellcats would then pull Scheer in favor of Joe Purdy for the remaining three innings. Purdy closed the game out with only one strikeout, while allowing no walks.
The production from Scheer and Purdy was precisely matched by The Elites pitcher, N. Shackleton. Shackleton stood in for The Elites at the mound for the entire seven innings, securing eight strikeouts and only walking three Hellcat batters.
Despite the statistics of all the pitchers, it was the hits allowed, coupled with two errors on The Hellcats side that proved detrimental.
The Hellcat batters would only connect with Shackleton four times in the entire game, while Scheer and Purdy would each allow five hits a piece.
However, The Hellcats would fight to hold the 2-0 deficit they found themselves in, successfully shutting out The Elites for three consecutive innings following the first.
The Elites would finally string together enough hits in the fifth inning to send a runner home for the 3-0 lead, before they closed the game out in the seventh with a three run outing.
OCO Elite batters: Liuzzo 1-4 with a run, Nick Stirone 2-3 with two runs and an RBI, A. Taylor 1-4 with twi runs, N. Shackleton 2-3 with two RBI's, Z. Shallut 1-1, Mason Alford 1-2 with an RBI, Gabe Gojani 0-3, Payton Stirone 0-1, Josh Haines 1-4, John Yacano 1-3, and Brooker 0-2.
Hellcat batters: Johnathan Predmore 2-4, Paden Burlison 1-3 with an RBI, Vince Caiati 0-2, Nate Scheer 0-2, Kyle Crawford 0-3, Jon Heggie 0-3, Cristobal Caballero 0-1, Cam Heggie 1-2, Wayne Law 0-1, Joe Purdy 0-2, Tommy Voce 0-3.
