Greene 8, Harpursville 7

GREENE – Greene survived Harpursville’s late rally, and scored the game-winning tally in its last at-bat to even the Trojans’ log at 1-1.

Scott Gorton led off the last of the seventh with a double, moved to third on a balk, and scored on Nate Whittaker’s game-winning single.

Harpursville tied the game with three runs in the seventh, two of those coming in on passed balls. “The good thing was after giving up the runs, we didn’t give up and were able to battle to get the win,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “We had a couple of mistakes that hurt us, but overall, we’re playing much better defense this season.”

Scott Gorton and Whittaker had two hits apiece, and Whittaker finished with two RBI.

Brendan Kinne pitched one-third of an inning of relief to earn the victory.
