NORWICH - After going down by four runs in the opening inning, the senior Chenango Hellcats valiantly battled their way back to force a 4-4 tie against the Harpursville Legion yesterday, June 8.

Paden Burlison got the game-tying RBI for the Hellcats in the bottom of the seventh inning, as he grounded out to the second baseman, allowing Jon Heggie to come across the plate and knot things up at four runs apiece.

“The momentum definitely switched to our side in that seventh inning,” said senior Hellcats coach Ben Barnes. “The guys had to fight from behind the whole game and the runs finally started crossing the plate.”

The Hellcats did have a shot to win the game, but Michael Graven-Briggs stranded the winning run at third, as he struck out looking to end the game.
