On Friday, May 3, the Voorheesville Blackbirds baseball team hosted the Lansingburgh Knights in a Colonial Council matchup at Dutchmen Field in Guilderland Center. The Blackbirds tried to rally but the Knights ended that rally in the Birds’ 7-to-5 loss.
On Monday, April 8, the Voorheesville baseball team traveled to Joe Bruno Stadium to play the LaSalle Cadets in a game that was moved due to the eclipse. The Cadets’ starting pitching silenced the Blackbirds bats by holding them to just two hits in the Birds’ 7-to-0 loss.
Last Thursday, May 11, the Voorheesville baseball team had its final regular-season game at LaSalle Institute. The Cadets’ pitching didn’t allow much potential for the Blackbirds as they only had six hits and the Birds fell, 12 to 2.
On Friday afternoon, May 6, the Voorheesville Blackbirds took on Schalmont in a doubleheader at Dutchmen Field in Keenholts Park. In the first game, the Birds led twice but fell in the bottom of the eighth, 9 to 8.
With the season winding down and the games becoming more important to make a push for a good seed in sectionals, the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Bulldogs girls’ softball team and the Voorheesville boys’ baseball look to help their cause. The Bulldogs lost, 5 to 2, to Oppenheim-Ephratah-St.
