FREWSBURG — Trailing 2-0 at the midway point of Monday’s Section VI Class C prequarterfinal, Frewsburg baseball coach Eric Haglund gathered his team in front of the dugout for a little chat.

He didn’t raise his voice.

Heck, he didn’t even say much.

But the message was clear.

“I told them to come together as a team and figure it out,” Haglund said.

Guess what?

It worked.

Sparked by a pinch-hit RBI double by senior Trent Bjork, the Bears scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and then rode the pitching of freshman Chase Haglund to a 6-2 victory over Cattaraugus-Little Valley at the Robert H. Jackson Athletic Complex.

The win improves seventh-seeded Frewsburg’s record to 10-9 and moves them on to today’s 5 p.m. quarterfinal game at No. 2 Gowanda.

Cattaraugus-Little Valley (3-13), the No. 10 seed, made things very interesting early, scoring a run in both the first and second innings to stake starter Brayden Young to a 2-0 lead. And it remained that way until Coach Haglund’s “conversation” with his players before they batted in the bottom of the fourth.

After Vincent Sanfilippo led off with a single, Bjork ripped an RBI double down the left-field line to trim the deficit to 2-1.

“He’s been working hard in the cage every single day,” Coach Haglund said of Bjork. “He’s been a little bit up and down during the season, but when the moment counted he pulled through.”

Young then walked Mitchell Lee, which brought in reliever Ryan Harper, who promptly hit Garrett Brink with a pitch to load the bases. One out later, Bjork scored on a wild pitch to tie the game and Jonah SanAngelo was walked to load the bases. Harper then walked Peyton Dustin and hit Chase Haglund with a pitch, pushing Frewsburg’s lead to 4-2.

The Bears tacked on a pair of insurance runs — one on Mason Eckman’s RBI single in the fifth and the other on Chase Haglund’s single in the sixth — which was more than enough for the latter, who gave up four hits in the first two innings, but none the rest of the way. He finished with nine strikeouts and four walks.

“Good for a ninth-grader,” Coach Haglund said of his son. “It was a good experience. I was in the same scenario when I played. It was 14-4 against Pine Valley when I was in ninth grade and Coach (Bob) Schmitt moved me up (to the varsity). He gave me the opportunity and I pulled through as well.”

Frewsburg’s second postseason opportunity is this afternoon at Gowanda.

“They’re a great team,” Coach Haglund said. “It’s going to be a dogfight. Look forward to playing.”
