Jack Willard (Webster Schroeder) sparked a five-run second inning and made it stick on the mound as DI Gold (7-0-1) continued its unbeaten run in Upstate Baseball League action Wednesday night at Basket Road Field. Willard singled, moved to second on a passed ball and scored on a Nick Vogt (Webster Schroeder) base hit to give Gold a lead it never surrendered. After Drew HerrNeckar (Hilton) walked to load the bases, Tanner Frank (Brighton) brought in two more with a single.

Facing bases loaded with no outs in the top of the seventh, Max Stuver (McQuaid) induced a ground ball for a force out at home plate and retired the final two batters of the game on strikes to preserve the victory. The right-hander worked two scoreless innings to pick up his first win. He struck out two and walked two. DI Orange took its first lead of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. Andrew Sanchez (Rush-Henrietta) connected on a two-out bloop single into shallow centerfield. The next four batters reached base with Caden Hann (Webster Thomas) bringing home the tying run on a bases loaded walk, and Tristan Murray (Home School) drawing the game winner on hit by pitch.

Alex Savory (Sodus) plated a pair with a first-inning double as DI Grey jumped to a 3-0 lead. Grey pushed the lead to four in the second inning when Robby Merkov (Webster Schroeder) brought home two with a two-out single to make it 5-1 game. But Hann steadied the ship for Orange. The right-hander hurled a 1-2-3 third and allowed one run on two hits over three innings to give his offense a chance.
