BINGHAMTON – The Hellcats, a formidable baseball team in their own right – however, a team that has been faced with some very solid competition of late.

The Chenango Legion Hellcats most recently dropped a 12-0 game to Binghamton Post #1645 – extending their current losing streak to eight losses and two tied games.

It was lights out for the Hellcats from nearly the start of the game. A 1-0 hole from the first inning is nothing – add on three runs in the second, with back-to-back innings in the third and fourth and the Hellcats were simply outgunned.

To add to the sting of the loss to Binghamton, their pitcher, John Petrucci pitched the entire five inning game. Petrucci snagged seven strikeouts, walking four Hellcats and allowing just one hit.

Nate Scheer was credited with the loss for the Hellcats, pitching two innings for two strikeouts and five walks in his 70 pitches thrown. Jon Heggie came in for two innings, walking two and earning no strikeouts – Scheer (4) and Heggie (3) combined to allow seven hits to Binghamton.

Leading the Hellcats at the plate, and grabbing their lone hit, was Vince Caiati. Caiati finished the game 1-2 on the day.
