Bobcats use early offense to defeat Afton

GREENE – The Trojans had some late game drama but secured their third straight win in the bottom of the sixth inning when Greene’s Grayson Flanagan scored on a wild pitch thrown by the Sidney pitcher. Greene came away with the 4-3 win after holding a rallying visiting Warriors team to no runs in the top of the seventh.

Sidney threatened in their last at-bats of the contest as Levi Greene started the inning with a lead-off single.

The Trojans Trenton Rapp rung up Peyton Mosher but walked Mike Gravlin to put two Warriors on the bases.

Kolby Finch made a big play at third base for Greene to get the second out of the inning and keeping the runners at bay. Rapp walked Sidney’s Corbin Constable on four straight pitches, loading the bases for the Warriors’ Nick Gravel.

Looking to get revenge after his wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth, Gravel wasn’t going to go away easy in his at-bat. With the first three pitches being balls, Gravel took the next pitch to make a 3-1 batters count. Rapp gave him a pitch that he was able to put in play but Greene’s Nick Shoemaker fielded the ground ball and got the third out to end the game.

Greene got out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning when Logan Kennedy doubled on a 0-1 count with two outs against the Trojans and scored Shoemaker from first.
