After a junior-heavy 2017 Victor team had its season cut short by McQuaid — only three players from that Blue Devils team graduated — they remember blowing a big lead. They remember the feeling of the season being over as the Knights went on to win a sectional title. But now a Victor team with 10 seniors gets a do-over…
Ryan O’Mara, on to close the game, faced a bases loaded situation with one out. The tying run was on second. But a groundball to Noah Campanelli at shortstop started a 6-4-3 double play. The Knights escaped, in large part because of two huge defensive plays that Fuller got to celebrate earlier…
After a single led off the fourth inning for the Saints, Daniel Stapleton induced a groundball to shortstop. 6 to 4 to 3, a quick, clean double play, and the leadoff hit was erased. The next inning, Stapleton copied that blueprint with some fielding of his own.
McQuaid’s Erik Johnson cruised through the game’s final six innings after allowing three first-inning runs. Tyler Griggs blew it open with a three-run double in the third. An 8-4 comeback win on Tuesday at Monroe Community College sets McQuaid up for the Class AA semifinal on Thursday against the winner of Wednesday’s Churchville Chili versus Penfield game…
Putney’s complete game performance was just the outing 11-seed Churchville needed to pull off an upset of six-seed Webster Thomas, 4-3, at Basket Road Field on Monday evening, in the Class AA first round…

In the fourth, shorter swings worked out for the Patriots. After Ziehl drove in the first two, Penfield was able to load the bases. With one out, Haefner struck out a batter to get the second. But then Penfield’s catcher, Andrew Kimmins, knocked a ground ball through the right side to drive in two more runs…
Wright was hitless in his first three at bats, albeit with one RBI. Fairport’s Danny Guichard threw strike one with his fastball. A curveball caught the plate for strike two. Wright fouled two balls off down the right side, out of play. And then he found the third-base bag for two RBI. One more RBI walk gave the Titans a three-run lead, and Devin Mulcahy came on to close it out…
