BAINBRIDGE – After trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, the Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats snatched the lead with back-to-back blasts by Evan Hyzer and Tom Palmatier. B-G captured the 7-6 win over the Sherburne-Earlville Marauders Saturday afternoon.

The Marauders did attempt a comeback rally in the top of the seventh, scoring two in the inning, but fell short of sending the game into extra innings by a run.

The Bobcats took the lead first in the bottom of the third inning when sent a hard grounder to centerfield, sending Garrett Ives and Owen Drown across the plate.

Gabe Irwin of S-E led the top of the fourth with a double on a fly ball to left field. Back-to-back walks pushed Irwin up to third and teammate’s Cody Beckwith and Troy Fleming loaded the bases.

Ben Menard sent a fly ball to the outfield but a dropped ball by the right fielder lead to Irwin and Beckwith scoring two unearned runs and tied the game up at 2-2.

Later in the inning, Alex Kober sent a screaming liner to right field, sending Fleming in from third for the 3-2 lead. Menard made it 4-2 in the same at-bat as he scored from second on the Bobcats’ attempt for the play at the plate.
