SHERBURNE – The Marauders of Sherburne-Earlville were in full force in support of S-E’s varsity baseball team, as the S-E squad fell to Canastota 10-9 on senior night.

Playing at home, senior night, and playing in a one-run game heading into the fourth inning. What better way to play a baseball game on a sunny Chenango County day?

Prior to the game, Sherburne-Earlville honored their four graduating seniors: Trevor May, Joe Purdy, Wayne Law, and Blake Parry.

The S-E boys saw a slow start to the home game on Wednesday, May 17, as Canastota thumped the Marauders for three early runs in the first.

“Played a good game tonight overall. We made a couple early mistakes that hurt us. Again, I have to say that I’m proud of the effort these boys have shown this season,” said Sherburne-Earlville head coach Jay Tackabury.

Following the early mistakes that led to the 3-0 hole, S-E matched Canastota for five runs a piece in the second inning of the high scoring affair.

The Marauders were on the hunt. Down 8-5 entering just the third inning, S-E flipped the script on Canastota, to outscore the away team 4-2 – closing the gap to a 10-9 ball game.
