Bainbridge-Guilford 4, Afton 1
BAINBRIDGE – Corbin Palmer outdueled Afton pitcher Josh Akshar as Bainbridge-Guilford continued its late-season surge winning its third straight game Monday.
B-G’s clutch hitting in the sixth allowed it to break away from the Knights. With two outs, Tyler Ouimet singled to left center field driving in two runs breaking a 1-1 tie. Brandon Lamont followed with an RBI single scoring Ouimet.
Palmer allowed five hits and struck out four. The lone run he surrendered came in the top of the sixth when Mark Viviano singled in Akshar. Akshar was the tough-luck loser giving up just four hits.
“It was a really well-played game, and it just happened that we were able to string some hits together in that one big inning,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “We’re playing good ball right now, and playing error-free the last two games certainly helps.”

Unadilla Valley 13, Delhi 4
NEW BERLIN – Unadilla Valley built a 12-3 lead after three innings, and cruised to a victory over visiting Delhi Monday afternoon.
Brandon Miles had two hits and three RBI, Justin Hofer drove in two runs, and Brett Smith had two hits and two runs scored. Smith and Miles combined on the victory with Smith earning the victory and Miles pitching three innings of scoreless relief. “Brett and Brandon were dialed in tonight, and that gave our defense a chance to make plays,” said UV coach Gary Alford. “Our eighth and ninth hitters – Kyle King and Jesse Ranger – reached base via error, hit by pitch or base on balls, and both of them scored twice. That’s what wins you ballgames, but most of the time goes unnoticed.”
