Crucial Shutout for C-R

COBLESKILL —  B. Becker threw a two-hit shutout and launched a home run Tuesday, leading Cobleskill-Richmondville to an 11-0 home victory over Schoharie in a high school baseball game shortened to six innings.

Becker dominated on the mound for the Bulldogs, allowing just two singles and no walks while striking out eight batters over six scoreless innings to earn the win.

At the plate, Becker drove in three runs with his home run. M. Gunzinger also had a big day offensively, going 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs. E. Barr contributed two hits and two RBIs, while B. Rotman reached base safely in all four plate appearances with two hits and two walks, adding an RBI and a run scored.

Cobleskill-Richmondville broke the game open with an eight-run rally in the bottom of the fifth inning and added three more runs in the sixth.

Schoharie's offense was stymied by Becker, managing only singles from Schoemore and Dingoe.

Starting pitcher Vangasbeck took the loss for Schoharie, surrendering five earned runs, including Becker's homer, over four innings. Dingoe pitched the final 1 2/3 innings in relief.
