Bainbridge-Guilford 11, Greene 7

GREENE – Bainbridge-Guilford picked up its sixth win of the season topping Greene in a back-and-forth contest Thursday.

Greene scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to close the B-G lead to 8-7. The Bobcats gained some needed insurance with three runs in the seventh. Danny Gormley hit a two-run double, and Corbin Palmer followed with an RBI single.

Gormley went 4-for-4 with two RBI, Paul Parsons had two hits including a two-run homer in the first, and Billy Holden had two hits and two RBI for B-G (6-2, 6-3).

Jeff Carlin was a perfect 4-for-4 to lead Greene, who failed to executed a squeeze play in the fifth that would have tied the game. “Greene came out stroking the ball, and the top of their order is pretty solid,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “They have some young kids; their future looks bright.”

Norwich 12, Windsor 3

WINDSOR – Norwich resumed its winning ways Thursday at Windsor plating nine runs over the final two innings to dispatch the Black Knights.

Brendan McInerney was a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs scored, Lucas Follett had three hits and drove in four runs, Nick McCullough also had three hits, while Mackay Hotaling drove in three runs and Colby Griffin knocked in two.

The Tornado bullpen pitched four scoreless innings to hold Windsor in check. Nate Winans pitched two scoreless innings of relief for his first varsity win, and Justin Lindenthaler finished with two scoreless frames.

“The bullpen did another great job for us, and the best statistic is that we made no errors for the first time this season,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “It was important for us to play good defense so that we can gain some confidence.”

Norwich (7-2-1) plays at Owego Saturday.

Oxford 5, Delhi 2

OXFORD – Oxford received a well-pitched game from sophomore Andrew Golden, and won its third game of the season on Thursday.

Golden went the distance striking out eight and walking two. Golden pitched 6 2-3 scoreless innings until an untimely error led to Brandon Snyder’s homer that broke up the shutout.

“Andrew pitched exceptionally well and we fielded it well,” said Oxford coach Chris Palmer. “When we’re catching it and throwing it, we’re in games. That was the case tonight.”

Oxford scored three insurance runs in the third on just one hit. Golden drew a bases-loaded walk, Ryan Moore reached on an error to score the second run, and Eric Dilfer had an RBI groundout. Jeff Lawton had an RBI in the second inning, and Moore drove in Adam Pierson with a single in the third.

Oxford 18, Delhi 3 (5 innings)

OXFORD – Oxford’s Jacquelyn Heggie was in complete control on the mound Thursday night. Heggie held the Bulldogs without a hit, and her teammates supplied ample run support in a five-inning mercy rule contest.

Heggie fanned 10 and did not walk a batter facing just 19 batters in the game. The junior hurler added two doubles and three RBI, and teammate Lacey Barry had two hits, one of those a triple.

“We came out strong and we want to make sure we stayed aggressive throughout the game with Afton coming up tomorrow,” said Oxford coach Heather Pizza.

The win improved Oxford’s record to 5-2 this season.
