Bethlehem 3, Tri-Town 2: It didn’t take long for top-seeded Bethlehem to finish off its suspended game with Tri-Town on Thursday.Following the suspension of Wednesday’s Tri-State Baseball League playoff game, the Plowboys plated a run in the bottom of the 10th inning to finally defeat the Trojans, 3-2.The game was halted after nine innings on Wednesday due to darkness with the score knotted at 2-2.The Plowboys got right to work when the game resumed. After winning pitcher Tyler Erickson tossed a scoreless top half of the 10th, Aaron Granahan led off the bottom of the frame with a single and promptly stole second.Granahan didn’t stay there long as Matt Parlato followed with double to plate him with the winning run.
On Wednesday, the Plowboys fell behind the fifth-seeded Trojans 2-0 in the first inning, but cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning. Bethlehem (19-5, 1-1 playoffs) threatened several times to tie or even take the lead throughout the contest, but couldn’t do so until the bottom of the ninth. Eric O’Toole’s sharp single to left center off of Tri-Town reliever Miles Scribner tied the game at 2. Bethlehem (21-6, 2-0) now awaits the winner of the Brass City/Watertown contest that will be finished this evening. Tri-Town faces Winsted at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Community Field in Litchfield.
