GREENE – Greene advanced to the finals of its own tournament shutting out Norwich in the opening game, but lost in the finals to Chenango Forks, its first defeat in 12 contests.

Greene’s lone tally came in the fifth when the Trojans’ Rebecca Hanrahan walked with the bases loaded. “We just didn’t hit the ball like have been,” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “We had opportunities in the fourth and fifth, but could not come up with the big hit.”
The Trojans had three hits from Caitlin Willis and two hits from Hanrahan to defeat the Tornado. Willis doubled twice and scored two runs; Hanrahan collected two RBI. Hanrahan allowed one hit in pitching her ninth shutout this season.

G-MU wins tourney at Richfield Springs

The Raiders made up a 7-2 deficit to Cherry Valley-Springfield in the opening game to prevail, 10-8.

“The first game was rough getting down and having to fight back,” said G-MU coach Tina Cole. “We were able to do that, and hopefully we can go to Edmeston Monday and keep it going.”
Jenny Mason pitched 6 2-3 innings in the second game for the win. Sebeck came in with the bases loaded and induced a short pop up that bounced in front of home base. Raiders catcher Brianne McPherson picked up the ball, and made diving tag of the Remsen baserunner for the final out.
