Chenango Valley 5, Norwich 1
NORWICH - Defending Class B state champion Chenango Valley was led by the pitching of Dominik Forbidussi and the hitting of Adam Greene and Austin Lewis in a victory over the Purple Tornado (7-6) Friday afternoon.
Forbidussi pitched six strong innings giving up just a single run to the Tornado, a Cody Barnes RBI single that scored older brother Ben Barnes in the fourth.
Greene doubled in one run and hit a two-run single in the third, and Austin Lewis had two hits, one a triple, in a 2-for-2 day. Greene added a diving catch in the last inning on the foul ball to put a stamp on the CV win. “Chenango Valley is an extremely athletic team that doesn’t hurt itself and plays with fantastic confidence,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “We did a better job at the plate, but we hurt ourselves on defense making four errors in the first three innings.”
Dennis Oralls had two hits for Norwich, who play at Owego Tuesday.

B-G 13, Delhi 4
BAINBRIDGE – B-G won back-to-back games for the first time this season as it rallied for five runs in its last two at-bats to defeat Delhi Friday.
Sophomore Lucas Butcher was 3-for-4 at the plate with an RBI and two runs scored. On the mound, Butcher overcame a shaky first inning to hold down the Bulldogs for the win. “He absolutely settled down after giving up three runs in the first inning,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly of Butcher. “Our kids played solid defense all around. Delhi hit some shots, but we got to the ball and made some great plays.”
B-G did not commit an error, while Delhi made six errors - most of those coming in the fifth and sixth innings.
Timmy Parsons drove in two runs, and Tyler Ouimet added two hits and two runs scored.

Taylor Stupski, Chelsea Henige, and Briana Stinson – the one-two-three hitters – led the Warriors with a combined 7-for-14 at the plate with a double and a triple. “I think Chenango Valley is the hardest hitting team we’ve faced,” said Norwich coach Scott Moore. “When they hit it, it was solid.”
