CHERRY VALLEY The
Cherry Valley-Springfield
baseball team broke out of
its midseason slump last
week, and is just one win
away from another Tri-Valley
East title.
The Patriots beat T-V
East foes Milford, 14-1, and
Schenevus, 12-0, to improve
to 8-4 overall and 5-2 in
league play. CV-S plays host
to T-V West leading Edmeston
today (Thursday) at
4:30 p.m. and travel to second
place Worcester on Monday.
A win in either game will
send them back to the Tri-
Valley Championship Game
for the fifth time in six seasons.
``Were showing signs of
coming around in all aspects
of the game, said CV-S head
coach Ed Dubben, whose
team had lost three straight
before the Milford game.
``Everyone has been hitting
well, we got two pitching
gems, and made very few errors.
Against Milford, Adam
Halay pitched a complete
game, allowing four hits,
while Nate Herringshaw had
three hits, including a triple.
David Adams, Spencer Staley,
Zach Pecenak and Sam
Dubben all contributed two
hits for the Patriots.
On Monday at Schenevus,
David Adams allowed one hit
through five innings, and
David Brant and Rich Rockwell
each pitched a hitless
inning of relief. Herringshaw
continued his torrid hitting
with a 3-for-3 day at the
plate, including two doubles.
Adams helped his own
cause with two hits, including
a triple, while Brant hit a
two-run home run and Dubben
added two doubles.
If CV-S wins one of its two
final games, they will play
Edmeston in the title game
on Friday, May 23 at Oneonta
State.
It would mark the fourth
straight year the teams have
met for league supremacy,
with CV-S winning the past
two years.
