  Andrew Schaefer hits a double, driving in 3 runs and helping to secure the championship for West Seneca.

  By the top of the 5th inning, Saratoga Stampede was ahead, 3-1.

  Then West Seneca took advantage of loaded bases when Saratoga pitcher Daniel Hobbs walked four in a row. Even relief pitcher Robert Gates couldn’t stop West Seneca shortstop Andrew Schaefer from smashing a double down the left field line, driving in three runs.

  

  Nathan Kruger (the third West Seneca RBI) slides home, bringing the winning score to 5-3.

  The score was suddenly 5 to 3, and that’s how it stayed to the end of the championship game four innings later, played at Murnane Field’s Donovan Stadium in Utica.

  

  West Seneca players are happy about winning the championship.
