Winning pitcher Owen Ludwig struck out eight while only allowing one hit, a leadoff single by Dalton Caldwell, who was erased on an inning-ending double play. Ludwig received plenty of offensive support as Gabe Schrader (four RBIs, three runs scored), Owen Rush (double, three RBIs and three runs scored), Trevor Persch (three RBIs, five runs scored) and Andrew Cowan (two RBIs and three runs scored) all had three hits. Simon Davis (double, two RBIs and four runs scored) and Micah Davis (double, three RBIs and a run scored) each had two hits. As a team, Fredonia had 17 hits.

ROTH NO-HITS COUGARS

SHERMAN — Gabe Roth didn’t pitch in Tuesday’s nonleague game against Southwestern so Clymer/Sherman/Panama would have the junior right-hander available for Wednesday’s Division 2 West opener against Cassadaga Valley.

Wolfpack head coach Jake Marino’s move paid off.

FENTON STELLAR IN DEBUT

BROCTON — Tucker Fenton threw five no-hit innings as Maple Grove beat Brocton 8-0 for first-year head coach Jason Yohe’s first victory in Division 2 West action.

Fenton, a St. Bonaventure commit, struck out 13, walked five and hit two batters before being lifted in favor of Kolden McCall to start the sixth inning. The Bulldogs’ Ryan Laurito greeted McCall with a double to break up the no-hit bid.

“Tucker threw the ball well,” Yohe said. “With our limited time being able to get outside, they played very well tonight.”

Fenton hit an RBI single in the first inning to score Jackson Gowan as Maple Grove (1-0, 1-0) took a 1-0 lead.

In a two-run third, Kynan Egan hit an RBI double to score Fenton. The Red Dragons went up 4-0 in the fifth inning before a four-run seventh inning. McCall had the big hit with a two-run double in the seventh.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Eagles had runners on second and third with one out, but winning pitcher Max Vigue picked up a strikeout and a groundout to end the game.
