BINGHAMTON – It was a tough loss for the Chenango Hellcats Legion baseball team on Monday July 10, as the visitors eventually succumbed to a powerful offensive laden inning from Chenango Forks in the 7-4 setback.

Scoring one run a piece in the first and second innings gave the Hellcats an early 2-0 lead.

The Hellcats maintained their lead over the course of the game, until the bottom of the fifth when the wheels fell off.

Despite the Hellcats ace in Tommy Voce, on the mound, the Chenango County team had no answer as Chenango Forks knocked in run after run all to the dismay of the bobbling and misplaying Hellcats defense.

The Hellcats would record six total errors in the game, and out of the seven runs scored by the Hellcats opposition – none would be recorded as an earned run.

But it was more than just the errors that earned Chenango Forks extra outs. The hometown ‘Forks team sunk its teeth in by knocking around seven hits, and walking five times on the evening.

However, with time running out in the game and the final outs awaiting, the Hellcats had one more rally in them.
