Bainbridge-Guilford Baseball defeats Harpursville (3-0), Walton (3-0) and Afton (1-0)

BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats Baseball team ripped off three straight games surrounding this past weekend.

On Thursday, April 20, the Bobcats hosted the Hornets of Harpursville – swatting the swarm for a 3-0 home win.

The Hornets looked on helpless as solid play early on from B-G secured the game – snagging a first inning of two runs, only to tack on the insurance third run in the second inning.

In the bottom of the first Trevor Halaquist smashed a line-drive single to left field sending home Evan Hyzer for the early run. On batter later, and B-G’s Zach Ouimet took the sacrifice ground out – a move that allowed Collin Puerile to make it home from third base.

The Bobcats would only outhit Harpursville 3-2 in the game, however, would capitalize on their hits.

Sean Jones earned the win on the mound for B-G, securing a game where he pitched the entire seven innings and allowing just two hits and no walks, while securing eight strikeouts.

In the bottom of the second inning, Puerile hit the ball into play forcing a fielders choice situation – a move that secured the second out of the inning but would allow enough time for Tom Palmatier to dart home for the third and final run of the night.
