G-MU 7, Morris 6

COPES CORNERS – G-MU scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh to avenge an 18-0 loss to Morris from earlier this season.

Jason Barrows was hit by a pitch to start the seventh, and stole second to put himself in scoring position. Tim French followed with a hard single into the gap plating Barrows with the winner.

Barrows struck out 12 and scattered seven hits in G-MU’s fourth win this season. “We’ve been in close games and we know what we are capable of. That last game (against Morris) was not us,” said G-MU coach Rick Mohrein. “We’ve set a goal to get back to .500 and make the playoffs, so we needed to have this game.”

French finished 2-for-3 with two RBI, and Andy Baker added a two-run single in the second inning.

G-MU hosts Laurens today at 4 p.m.

Unatego 5, Unadilla Valley 2

NEW BERLIN – Unatego snapped a 1-1 tie with two runs in the fourth, and added two more in the fifth to pull away from Unadilla Valley Wednesday.

Quinn Barnhart had an RBI triple in the first for Unatego, Tanner Winchester drove in a run in the fourth, and Tyler Butler’s sacrifice fly raised the Spartans’ lead to four runs.

Unadilla Valley failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity in the fourth. The Storm loaded the bases with no outs, but failed to score a run. Unatego pitcher Josh Feyerabend recorded back-to-back strikeouts, and catcher Lucas DeJoy picked off a runner at first base.

“We had some guys on base early in the game, we just couldn’t get the big hit,” said UV coach Tom Locke. “Feyerabend did a good job of pitching out of jams.”

Nate Shackleton scored both of UV’s runs, and Kurt Haycook added two hits in the loss.

Bainbridge-Guilford 9, Delhi 8

DELHI – Bainbridge-Guilford rallied from an early three-run deficit scoring three times in the top of the seventh to pull out a win at Delhi Wednesday.

Timmy Parsons and Jake Mazzarella had RBI singles, the latter by Mazzarella tying the game. With two outs and runners on second and third, Cole Webb struck out, but a dropped third strike forced a throw to first to catch Webb. Webb beat the throw, and on the play, Mazzarella broke for home sliding safely before the tag.

“We just didn’t play well most the game,” said B-G coach Tim Mattingly. “We made six errors and we seemed to be going through the motions.”

Austin Bauerle, who pitched six innings in a win Tuesday, pitched the seventh for the save. Corbin Palmer tossed five-plus innings of relief for the victory.

Lucas Butcher was 3-for-4 to lead B-G (10-2). Parsons, Mazzarella, and Devon Rivera all added two hits.

Mick Khoury was the lone S-E starter without a hit, but he finished with four stolen bases. Ryan Palmatier, making his first start in centerfield, had an RBI single in the first as part of a three-run opening inning.
