After losing their first game in the Greenwich Tournament 5-4 to Watervliet, the boys from Salem were in need of a confidence booster – and one was on the way.

It had been a long hot day and both ball clubs were obviously tired going into the game, but Schoharie’s lack of a solid pitching staff played off in Salem’s favor.

Led by a two-out grand slam off the bat of Dylan Miller, Salem’s offense picked up the slack after a three-game drought littered with K’s and easy-outs.

Schoharie’s pitching staff just could not contain the onslaught; the Generals went on to win the game 16-1, and broke even going 1-1 in the Greenwich Tournament.
