Weekly Team Notes
Glens Falls (5-2 week, 25-9 overall):
The Golden Eagles used a 5-2 week to remain in first place in the Eastern Division. The week ended on a down note with a six-game winning streak snapped on Saturday night by Watertown and a 10-7 loss on Sunday at Bennington...Offensively, the Green and Gold accounted for 41 runs in seven games and never had fewer than three runs...Glens Falls walked off with wins against Saratoga in back-to-back games on Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday in Saratoga Springs, the Golden Eagles rallied for four eighth-inning runs on one hit, four walks, an error and a hit-batter to erase a 5-3 deficit in a 7-5 win. Friday night in Glens Falls, the Golden Eagles played three runs in the bottom of the ninth on four walks and two hit batters to defeat the Phillies, 4-3. The game ended on a bases-loaded walk to Jonathan White (Vanderbilt)...Crunching the Numbers: Glens Falls drew a total of 14 walks in back-to-back wins over Saratoga...Who's Hot: Stefen Romero (Pima CC) slugged two home runs and drove in seven. Shane Davis (Canisius) whirled a one-hit bid over six innings against Amsterdam last Tuesday.
