HARPURSVILLE – The Crimson Knights of Afton started their season-opener in the best way possible jumping all over the Hornets of Harpursville in an 11-5 victory on Wednesday April 5.
Afton drew first blood in the very first inning when Vincent Caiati drove in the first two runs of the afternoon via the route of the ‘long-ball’ when he homered to left field.
It wouldn’t be the only time a Crimson Knight player left the yard. Colin Nabinger followed Caiati’s lead when he drove in three runs of his own when he homered to right field to push the Afton lead to 5-0. From there, the Crimson Knights drove in at least one run in four of the final five innings.
Despite their three errors on the afternoon, the Crimson Knights kept the Hornets at bay, allowing one run through the first five innings of play. And if not for the fight from Harpursville who recorded six of their 11 total hits over the final two innings.
The Crimson Knight’s Colin Nabinger earned the win, pitching four innings recording four strike outs, while giving up one unearned run. Vincent Caiati, Zach Alford and Colin Nabinger all had multiple hits in the game-providing seven of the Crimson Knight’s nine hits. Nabinger and Caiati each recorded three RBI’s in the game with Caiati and Alford swiping two bags a piece.
“We got going early on with the bats with Vincent Caiati and Colin Nabinger homering in the first and second inning,” said Afton head coach Trevor Beames. “That put us up 5-0. From there, we let Nabinger, Ives, and Hubbard go to work from the hill, and continued to score runs.”
The Crimson Knights (1-0 overall) are back in action when they play the Greene Trojans in Greene at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11.
Afton: 2 3 1 1 0 1 3– 11 9 3
