Greene 1 Afton 0

GREENE – Greene’s Matt Jones won a pitcher’s duel over Afton’s Cameron Oswald tossing a two-hit shutout Tuesday afternoon.

Jones had 15 strikeouts and four walks, and his team’s lone run came in the first inning. Alex Leone reached on an infield error and advanced to second on the play. A groundout moved Leone to third, and he came in on a passed ball.

Afton threatened a couple of times in the game with two baserunners reaching third base, said coach Ron Rapp. “We did try to generate runs and got guys into scoring position,” Rapp said. “But we couldn’t come up with that key hit.”

Oswald struck out seven and also allowed just two hits in taking the hard-luck loss.

BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge-Guilford capitalized on one pitching mistake Tuesday afternoon, and avenged an early-season loss to the Storm.

The Bobcats, already nursing a 1-0 lead, upped the lead to 4-0 in the fifth. With two runners on base and one out, Paul Parsons took a 2-0 pitch over the right-field fence for a three-run homer.

Parsons was also masterful on the mound allowing three UV hits and striking out 11 for the win. Brandon Miles, who bested Parsons in the first meeting, took the loss. “It was a same pitching matchup as earlier in the season, and I don’t think either guy pitched any worse,” said UV coach Tom Locke. “We just made that one mistake. B-G put the ball in play all game, and we made some good plays in the field.”

Miles went 2-for-3 with a run scored, and Brett Smith had an RBI single in the sixth for the Storm.
