The Potsdam Sandstoners outhit
Saratoga Catholic 14-8, but
committed three costly errors
against the defensively-spotless
Saints in a 7-6 comeback loss at
Bleeker Stadium in Albany in the New
York State Class B quarterfinals.
Saratoga Catholic’s Jeremy Furey
singled home the winning run from
second base to break a 6-6 deadlock
in the walkoff victory. The Saints
piled up a 5-0 lead through the
first four innings, then had to fend
off a furious Potsdam comeback as
the Sandstoners plated a pair of
runs in the 5th and four more in the
sixth to forge a 6-6 tie. Chris
Reece tripled in a run and Lee
Buchanan singled to account for the
RBIs in the 5th frame. Buchanan
delivered two more runs with a
double, while Reece and Paul
Buchanan also delivered an RBI in
the 6th. The latter Buchanan also
robbed the Saints of a go-ahead run
in the bottom of the sixth with a
driving centerfield snare. The
Saints’ winner was scored by Dylan
Anderson who worked a leadoff walk,
stole second and scored on the Furey
hit.

IN 8TH, CHATEAUGAY
TIPS MORIAH IN STATE "D" OPENER |
|
By Bob LaRue, North Country
SportsNet
The Chateaugay Bulldogs were the
only Section X team to survive the
opening round of the New York State
Baseball or Softball playoffs on
Monday. And it took an extra-inning
thriller to prevent the sweep.
Austin Pivetta slapped a pitch to
centerfield that was mishandled
allowing the Bulldogs to plate the
winning run as Chateaugay outlasted
the Moriah Vikings 8-7 in eight
innings in the New York State Class
D Baseball regional semifinal at
SUNY Plattsburgh. The Bulldogs
racked up a four-run, first-inning
rally to muscle a 4-0 lead, capped
by Shane Harrigan’s two-run single.
Ryan LaBare and Brian Ashline also
had RBI singles. But Moriah
countered with two runs in the
bottom of the first. The Bulldogs
reestablished the four-run margin on
RBI singles by Ashline and pitcher
Eric Dwyer. However, undaunted, the
Vikings fought their way back with a
five-run second and gained their
first lead 7-6. With 13 of the
game’s 15 runs already logged, the
game settled into a pitcher’s
challenge. Ty Mailloux tied the game
7-7 with a hit to rightfield in the
sixth inning plating pinch runner
Ben Trombley. After the Bulldogs
scratched for their run in the 8th,
reliever Ian Henderson completed a
masterful three-inning shutout
performance by getting the power
hitters in the 2-3-4 slots in the
Viking order out in order to claim
victory. Chateaugay advances to face
Section II’s Fort Ann at SUNY Canton
on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

Chateaugay's Eric Dwyer poked one of
three Bulldogs hits.
By Bob LaRue, North Country
SportsNet
The usually sure-handed Chateaugay
Bulldogs coughed up four errors that
helped trigger four-run outbursts by
visiting Section II Champion Fort
Ann in each of the third and fourth
innings in a 10-1 loss in the N. Y.
State Class D quarterfinals on
Tuesday at SUNY Canton. The
Cardinals delivered 11 hits,
including six off Bulldog starter
and ace Eric Dwyer who threw
spotless baseball in the first two
innings. The bottom of the Cardinal
order – Jeremy Rocjewwicz and Ryan
Porter – started both rallies with
two hits and a four runs scored.
Jeff Johnson also tripled in a run
as Fort Ann piled up an 8-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Cardinal sophomore Robert
Sprague masterfully held the
Bulldogs to just two hits and no
walks in the first five innings. The
Bulldogs prevented a shutout in
their final at-bat when Ian
Henderson walked, stole second and
scampered home from third on a
double steal with Joe McGillicudy.

OPENER TO ICHABOD CRANE |

The umpire wait to determine if the
Massena catcher hangs onto the ball
for an out on a play at the plate
against Ichabad Crane’s Phil Basile

the Red Raiders early, pouncing for
four runs in the second inning, with
three base hits wrapped around a
Massena error. With four more
runs in each of the fifth and
seventh innings, the Raiders
season (14-7) came to a conclusion
on the short end of a 13-2 rout.

Ichabad Crane’s Zach Albery scores one of four Riders' runs in the

when Jordan Munson tripled home a
pair of runs.
