Kalib Smith singles and Gabe Moore walks, but Peru leaves them stranded in the first.

Seth Petrashune delivers the first pitch at 4:30 p.m. It’s 73 degrees and partly cloudy.

Section VII’s best baseball teams meet on the diamond at 4:30 p.m., when No. 14A Peru (12-0, 10-0 CVAC) travels to No. 14B Saranac (11-2, 8-1 CVAC) for Game 1 of a two-game set. https://t.co/bNHcPe7S1K

High school football, Plattsburgh State men’s hockey and Airborne Park Speedway. The more things change, the more they stay the same. https://t.co/eeLLOFB2nV

Donnie Mitchell’s sacrifice fly in the seventh inning supplied Peru with a 7-6 walk-off win over Plattsburgh High. The Nighthawks remain unbeaten at 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the CVAC. https://t.co/6RzLkP1Ag2

Whoa.

Cornell was within 3-2 of Michigan State after two periods despite being outshot 30-9. Rallied for two third-period goals, including the game-winner with 10 seconds left. This is the basketball equivalent of a 15 seed knocking off a 2 seed. Huge upset.

AND THE BIG RED WIN WITH A 4-3 COME FROM BEHIND WIN WITH 10 SECONDS LEFT IN THE THIRD! Powerplay goal to end it! #YellCornell

Shane Kirker scored his 1,000th point, and he didn’t even know until it was announced. Shane and his team were more focused on winning a game than reaching an individual milestone. What a concept. That doesn’t happen in Section VII.

State championship and 1000 career points on the same night. You couldn’t write a better script for Shane Kirker. https://t.co/FBrRwxYsqb

Red Gendron died unexpectedly at 63 in April 2021, and Maine was without a men’s hockey head coach. One month later, the university hired 39-year-old Ben Barr. He transformed the team from a last-place club to Hockey East champions tonight. First title since 04. Incredible story.

Area football teams will have a familiar opponent back on their schedules in 2025. Ticonderoga is rejoining the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference after a two-year stay in eight-man football. @ByPeteTobey @JJohnsonPxP @nysswa @steve_grandin https://t.co/HJoHryx1JU

The hyperfocus on individual records across Section VII athletics is sickening. If some of these programs worried more about winning games than breaking records, we’d have more local teams in the final four.

NCAA Division III women’s hockey first round: Elmira 1, Plattsburgh 0, final. Sara Sevcikova posted a 40-save shutout.

I believe this is Berne-Knox-Westerlo’s first final four since 1979, when Berne-Knox defeated Lake Placid 51-42 at Siena College to reach the Class C semifinals.

Berne-Knox-Westerlo 79, Moriah 58, final. The Vikings finished their season 18-6. They were CVAC Division II and Section VII Class C champions.
