SARANAC — After Plattsburgh High tied the game in the top of second, Saranac went on an 8-0 run en route to a 10-3 victory Saturday.
Gracie Baxter scattered eight hits that the Hornets were unable to string together to cause much damage.
PHS’ Marlie Walker had the only extra base hit for her team. Teammates Olivia LaMountain and Kiley Kretser had two hits each, as did Saranac’s Irelyn Ryan and Maddie Gagnier.
“Plattsburgh did a good job of putting balls in play but just unable to group hits together to create more,” Spartan coach Sam Campbell said. “We hit several balls well but with no luck. The sun and wind made the ball interesting at times.”

NORWOOD — What was a close game turned upside down with a seven run fourth for Beekmantown.
The Eagles built a big enough lead to hold on to defeat Norwood-Norfolk, 10-7.
Ashley Barnes led the Eagles with a home run and four RBIs on the day.
Ava Dauphinais, Adelaide Burnham and Kaelyn St. Clair had doubles for Beekmantown.
Lilly Perry had 0-1 strikeouts to lead the Eagles from the circle.
“Kali Burdett threw the ball very well and kept us off the bases six out of seven innings,” Beekmantown coach Michele Barnes said. “We broke through in the fourth and were able to score enough runs to gain the lead and keep it. We need to clean up the errors and hit the ball more consistently as we move forward. Keelyn St. Clair had a great game offensively and defensively for us.”
