Local sports rewind: Remembering moments from back in the day

The Binghamton Mets secured a dramatic win over Norwich, Conn, with a six-run eighth inning that included a two-run double by Scott Hunter. Despite Hunter slumping, his performance helped the team maintain their first-place position in the Eastern League’s Northern Division with an 18-11 record. Hunter, an outfielder unexpectedly assigned to Double-A, also hit a two-run home run in the first inning, boosting his batting average from .203 to .226.

In high school sports news, Vestal senior D.J. Wiggins delivered a stellar performance in a spot start, pitching a two-hitter with 16 strikeouts in a 1-0 win over Corning East. Wiggins also scored the only run of the game with a second-inning single that brought Chris Brew home. Despite allowing two hits, Wiggins managed to strike out the final batter in a bases-loaded situation.

Additionally, Union-Endicott earned a 5-1 victory over Ithaca behind Matt Francavillo’s impressive pitching performance of 6 1/3 innings with three hits and nine strikeouts. Mike Folli’s third-inning triple that brought in Matt Ferraro and Scott Osman helped secure the win for Union-Endicott.
