COOPERSTOWN – Sherburne-Earlville lost for the first time in three games dropping a Center State Conference division game at Cooperstown Thursday.

Ben Pierson singled to lead off the fourth, and he came in with the game’s first run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly. Two innings later, Greg Bordersen doubled, and he scored an insurance run on Matt Pink’s two-bagger. Pitchers Ryan Bennett and Sawyer Harvey contained the Marauders’ bats giving up three hits.

“Our pitching is doing great and the defense played well against tonight,” said S-E coach Brian Hicks. “I bet we hit 10 ground balls to the shortstop or second baseman, and they were all routine plays.”

Mike Wilson was the hard-luck loser for S-E giving up just the two earned runs on three hits. The Marauders host Westmoreland today.
