p of the eighth inning Monday to earn a 9-7 Center State Conference baseball victory over host Cooperstown at Doubleday Field.

The Indians had runners on second and third with two out when one if their batters hit a high pop-up between home plate and the pitcher’s mound.

No Cooperstown infielder called for the ball, and it dropped to allow the go-ahead run to score. Sauquoit added two more runs in the inning for a 9-6 lead.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]Zack Sittler, who relieved at the start of the eighth, suffered the pitching loss.

"Sittler was the victim of a pop fly that wasn’t handled correctly," Cooperstown coach Frank Miosek said. "It was a sky ball. It was so high and it was raining and dark. Just a pop-up that didn’t get handled correctly."

The Redskins led, 6-5, in the top of the seventh, but Sauquoit rallied with two out.

Jaime Lyons singled and moved to second when starting pitcher Andrew Pohl walked Donato Fpina. A passed ball on catcher Philip Pohl advanced the runners to second and third. Lyons scored on a wild pitch to force extra innings.

Andrew Pohl struck out six and walked four in seven innings.

"Maybe I should have pulled Pohl earlier, but I wanted him to finish," Miosek said. "I thought he was in control. The last three batters had two strikes on them."

Lyons finished 2-for-4 to lead Sauquoit (6-1 overall, 2-1 CSC). Nick McRorie struck out six and walked four in a complete-game victory.

Ian McGilliray and Eddie Bauer had two hits apiece for the Redskins (4-2, 0-2), who play at Sherburne-Earlville at 4:30 p.m. today.

"We put people on at the wrong time," he continued, "and, basically, a few hits here and there and there you go."
