Norwich 6, Chenango Forks 3

CHENANGO FORKS – Norwich grabbed the lead with four runs in the top of the sixth, and completed a season sweep of Chenango Forks Wednesday.

Colby Griffin was 4-for-4 with three RBI to lead the Tornado, and he added a key RBI hit in the sixth. Brendan McInerney and John Yacano also collected ribbies in the sixth.

“The middle and the bottom of the lineup did what it needed to do,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “They were patient at the plate and worked the count.”

Justin Lindenthaler pitched 6 1-3 innings for the victory, and Cody Barnes recorded the final two outs for the save. “Justin was very efficient and tonight was our first error-free game,” Martinson said. “Justin was solid, and Cody was able to come in and put the game away.”
