Jacob Snyder keyed a sixth-inning rally with an RBI single Thursday as visiting Afton beat Bainbridge-Guilford, 5-4, in a Midstate Athletic Conference Division II baseball game.

Afton started its comeback from a 4-3 deficit when losing pitcher Terry Cordner hit Lupo Mack to open the sixth. Cordner then allowed a single to Phil Sanford and back-to-back walks to Karl Rogler and Trevor Beames, the latter scoring Mack as the tying run.

B-G (1-4, 0-1) then turned a 1-2-3 double play, leaving runners at second and third with two out. Snyder followed with a sharp single to right field, driving in Sanford as the decisive run.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]Rogler took over for winning pitcher Adam Berkeley in the bottom of the sixth and earned the save with two strikeouts in two scoreless innings.

"Rogler came in and put us down in order," B-Gcoach Steve Rice said.

Joe Bunzey paced Afton in its division opener with two hits, a run and an RBI. Sanford also had two of the Crimson Knights’ six hits.

B-G’s Jon Walker finished 2-for-4, including a leadoff home run in the third inning. Matt Steinbach doubled for the Bobcats, who finished with four hits.

B-G is at Sidney today for a cross-division game between MAC teams.

Kyle Palmer pitched a scoreless eighth to earn the victory. Joe Innes finished 3-for-5 with two runs for Unatego, which got two hits apiece from Randy Merwin and Allen Knowlton.

Cherry Valley-Springfield catcher Mathias Vanderwerker went 2-for-3 with a home run, but the Patriots dropped a non-league game.

Vanderwerker’s seventh-inning homer put CV-S ahead, 3-2, but the Patriots committed three consecutive errors in the bottom of the inning as St. Johnsville scored twice.

"All three of our pitchers threw real well," said CV-S coach Ed Dubben, whose team committed a season-high five errors. "It was a total defensive meltdown; I couldn’t believe it."

Steve Herringshaw and Ben Haley combined to allow two runs on four hits over the first six innings. They struck out 14 and walked four.

Hyde Clarke relieved in the seventh, but two throwing errors and a fielding error allowed the Saints to rally.

Anthony Brant finished 2-for-3 with two stolen bases for the Patriots (2-2), who host Milford in a Tri-Valley League game Wednesday.
