Greene 8, Sus Valley 8 (8 innings)
GREENE – Greene rallied three times against Sus Valley, and ended in a tie with its STAC opponent as the game was called due to darkness.
“This one felt like a win,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “We came back time after time and showed a lot of guts.”
Trailing the Sabers 4-1, Greene plated five in the fifth to take the lead. Dan Carlin stroked a two-run double, while Braeden Williams and Brendan Kinne added RBI singles.
After SV moved in front in the seventh, 7-6, Brian Day had a two-out RBI single to tie the game. Sus Valley again took the lead in the eighth, but Nic Puglisi delivered a timely two-out single to right field scoring Scott Gorton to deadlock the game.
“They made us hit the ball and score our runs,” Gorton said. “We had to earn everything.”
Gorton and Williams had three-hit days, and Carlin added two hits and two ribbies. Greene (1-1-1) hosts Oxford Tuesday.

Afton 9, Edmeston 8 (8 innings)
AFTON – Afton rallied from a 6-0 deficit in the first inning to improve to 4-0 on the season in an extra-innings victory over Edmeston Thursday.
The Crimson Knights scored five runs in the last of the seventh to tie the game at 8-8. Corey Mohrein had a two-run double, and Victor Coronado’s bases-clearing triple knotted the game up.
Mohrein had the game-winning single in the eighth scoring Jacob Arnold. “It’s been a short season, but we’ve played from behind and this team pieces it together at the right time,” said Afton coach Ron Rapp. “We’ve come up with clutch hits when we needed them.”
Eric Bennett hit a grand slam in the opening inning propelling Edmeston to an early lead.
Coronado and Mohrein each went 3-for-5 on the day to lead Afton.

B-G 2, Delhi 1 (9 innings)
BAINBRIDGE – Justin Pepper’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth scored Paul Parsons with the winning run to give B-G a win over previously-unbeaten Delhi Thursday.
Dustin Rutz pitched three-plus innings of scoreless relief to pick up the victory. Parsons, Eric Oefelein and Rutz combined to allow just five Delhi hits. “Pitching was the biggest difference in this game,” said B-G coach Pete Mansheffer. “When you throw strikes and let the defense play behind you, it’s a whole different world.”
Travis Colburn had an RBI single in the fifth for B-G to tie the game at 1-1. B-G is at Unatego today.
