Trailing by three entering the bottom of the seventh, Jamestown finally solved Spartans starter Jeff Shepard. The right-hander, who allowed just five hits in the first six innings, surrendered a leadoff infield single to Andy Greenman. Nate Hilburger followed with a bloop single to right and Greenman ended up at third following a wild pitch. The kid has come up big all year, Reilly said. He s ice.
Nothing bothers the kid.
He s so cool and collected. With the tying run at third, Reilly had junior Matt Berlin run for Anderson, and Williamsville North coach Jerry Scarcella decided to bring in Bingler to face Newton. Bingler walked Newton, putting runners at the corners again. Pinch-hitting for Mike Fisher, the sophomore with so much potential fought off a pitch to right field, plating Berlin with the tying run. I was pretty nervous, Donato said.
