Greene 8, Delhi 0
GREENE – Greene senior Megan McDermott certainly made the most of her first opportunity to pitch this season.
McDermott, last year’s starting pitcher, deferred to freshman Rebecca Hanrahan the first 16 games while recovering from an off-season injury. She made a triumphant return to the mound Monday tossing a no-hitter against the Bulldogs striking out 10 and walking two. “She’s been throwing the last four days in practice and she’s looked good,” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “I wanted to give her a chance to pitch a home game. She’s been a great teammate through her injury and she was going to be our number one pitcher until she was injured. What a nice tandem (of pitchers) we’ll have going into sectionals.”
Greene (15-2), who clinched the MAC Division One title last week, received three hits, three runs scored and one RBI from Caitlin Willis. McDermott helped herself at the plate with two hits and one ribbie.
Greene is at B-G Wednesday.

Unadilla Valley 6, Walton 5
NEW BERLIN – Unadilla Valley did all of its scoring over the last three innings, and scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to pull out its sixth win of the season.
Holley Reynolds stole home for Walton in the top of the seventh to give her team a one-run lead.
In the last of the seventh, Breanne White walked and scored the tying run on Hannah Benson’s RBI double. Hannah Johnson bunted for a basehit moving Benson to third, and when Johnson attempted a steal of second, Walton threw the ball away allowing Benson to come home with the winner.
Johnson had three hits for UV, who did not have a hit the first four innings. “They switched pitchers in the fifth inning, and the girl who came in threw harder,” said UV coach Brandi Backus. “I think our girls liked that pace better. This was the best our team has played in at least two weeks.”
