Chenango Valley 13, Norwich 0

NORWICH – Chenango Valley extended its unbeaten record to 13-0 Friday, and most definitely met the quality of play expected of a number one ranked team in the state.

“They hit the ball well and their pitching staff does and tremendous job keeping you off balance,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “There are no weaknesses that we can see; they’re a quality program and well coached.”

Eight of the Warriors’ 13 hits were of the extra-base variety. Eric Bidwell went 4-for-5 with a double and a triple, while Dan Pendleton and Jordan Oakley led with two RBI apiece.

CV’s combined pitching staff had 10 strikeouts, and the defense did not commit an error.

Cooperstown 4, S-E 3

COOPERSTOWN – A bases-loaded infield throwing error allowed two Cooperstown runs to score in the fifth inning to propel the Redskins past S-E in a battle of Center State Conference division leaders.

The Marauders also gave up a run in the first when an errant pickoff attempt at third base scored the game’s first run. “It was an unbelievable game, we just gave up a couple of runs we shouldn’t have,” said S-E coach Brian Hicks.
