Friday Night Sports Desk 5/12 Morning Edition
It was an action-packed evening on the sports front as teams battled it out for the top spots in their respective classes.
In the Class C standings, Ticonderoga Softball faced off against Northern Adirondack on their senior day.
Ticonderoga came out strong, pouring in runs and securing a commanding lead early in the game.
With 10 runs scored in the first inning alone, they now sit two and a half games ahead of the Bobcats for the top spot.
A win in their next game or a loss by NAC will guarantee Ticonderoga the number one seed in the Class C sectional tournament.
Over in Class B, Saranac Lake and Beekmantown clashed in a crucial matchup.
Saranac Lake entered the game on a four-game winning streak, and their bats remained hot as they continued their impressive run.
Jon Kratts delivered an RBI hit, and Nate Parliament’s double brought the score closer for Beekmantown.
However, Cedar Rivers of Saranac Lake dominated on the mound, striking out 10 batters and securing a complete game win.
The Red Storm’s victory extended their winning streak to five games and propelled them to the third position in the Class B standings.
Saranac Lake will need some help to secure a first-round bye as the number two seed.
If Peru manages to win at least one game against Plattsburgh next week and Saranac Lake wins three out of their next four games, they could secure the coveted bye.
Meanwhile, Beekmantown sought redemption for their baseball team’s loss.
With impressive plays from Payton Parliament and Elizabeth Chapman, they secured a dominant win.
The team showcased their celebrations, including the Parliament’s signature dance move, which added to their success.
In other news, a morning invitational golf tournament is set to take place today in Section Seven.
Golf enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to the event.
