NEW BERLIN – On Tuesday, the Unadilla Valley Storm PONY League team hosted Cooperstown for the final regular season game of the summer. Cooperstown shutout UV 11-0 through five innings.
Cooperstown scored all 11 runs in the top of the second inning off a struggling Storm defense. Despite the deficit, the defense stayed together and finished off the game strong, including defensive assists by Nolan Lewis at shortstop, making a few line outs, which one turned into a double play. Catcher Zayne Dibbell also caught a runner stealing third with help from teammate and third baseman Urijah Drake.
UV was held hitless up until the bottom of the fourth inning when Nolan Lewis hit a two-out single to center field. UV also had a base runner in the bottom of the second when Zack Welch reached on an error and stole second base with two outs, but failed to score.
