Teams win big in CVAC baseball
SARANAC — On a day that featured many one-sided scores in CVAC baseball, Saranac and Northeastern Clinton played the most competitive game. The Spartans avenged a setback to the Cougars the day before with a 5-1 victory in the rematch. Both pitchers — Saranac’s Adrian Barnes and NCCS’ Robert McIntyre — went the distance and allowed just two earned runs combined.
Barnes got the win as he allowed six hits, no earned runs, walked two and struck out five. McIntyre, meanwhile, surrendered seven hits, two earned runs, walked two and fanned five. “Barnes and McIntyre both did a good job commanding the zone and using their pitch mix to get ahead in counts,” Saranac coach Robby Knowles said.
“Barnes did a good job of missing the barrel and got a lot of weak contact. ” Wyatt Barton led Saranac with two hits and Brody Macomber hit a triple. Jordan Wells’ double was one of the Cougars’ six hits.
Saranac, leading 1-0 after three, tallied four runs in the fourth. “Macomber and Barton have been solid for us at the plate,” Knowles said. “Macomber had a big two-strike triple that drove in two runs.
Barton followed with a RBI single. ” — Saranac 5, NCCS 1 NCCS 000 001 0 — 1 6 2 SCS 010 400 x — 5 7 2 McIntyre and Wells. Barnes and Coryer.
