I caught the first game of an 18-and-under Eastern New York Travel Ball doubleheader between the Brunswick Buckeyes (Red) and the Schenectady/Schoharie County Volunteers Saturday afternoon in Clums Corners.

Former Tamarac High and current Hudson Valley Community College pitcher Josh Johnson threw 151 gritty pitches over seven innings, but allowed two unearned runs and lost, 5-3 to the Vols.

There were also plenty of other games played Saturday. Unfortunately we did not have any room to get the results in the paper, so here they are.

The Troy Renegades' 15-and-under team swept a doubleheader against the Syracuse Storm.

Game One:

Syracuse 000 022 - 4 1 1
Troy 200 062 - 10 7 4
Whitmeyer and Laguzza; McGrath and Gallacchi.

Ryan McGrath struck out 11 and allowed just one hit in the win on the mound, and he added a triple, a single and five RBI at the plate.

Jason Gallacchi chipped in with a triple.

Game Two:

Troy 003 024 4 - 13 15 0
