Valley Sports Report
ENDWELL - Maine-Endwell snapped a tie game with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning en route to a 5-3 win over Waverly here Monday afternoon in STAC baseball action.

With the Spartans up 1-0 after a run in the bottom of the first inning, the Wolverines tied the game in the top of the third inning on an RBI double by senior Ethan Perry.

M-E scored again in the top of the third to take a 2-1 lead, and Waverly tied it up again on an RBI single by senior Jay Pipher in the top of the fifth. The Wolverines were poised to do further damage with the bases loaded, and just one out, but a 6-4-3 double play ended the threat.
