The Raiders later scored 4 big runs in the fourth frame highlighted by a two-run single by Voss and an RBI single by Chauncey McKee.

Roy-Hart 5, Newfane 1
Charlie Bruning, Eric Fitch and Ben Schwab combined to hurl a 1 hitter with 11 strikeouts to lead  defending champion Roy-Hart past Newfane 5-1.

Roy-Hart moved on top to stay by scoring twice in the third inning on an RBI double by Al Xapsos and a fielders choice play off the bat of Charlie Bruning. A double by Tim Maines set up that opportunity.

Maines also had an RBI single in the sixth inning and Jake Bruning added a pair of hits.

The loss drops Newfane to 0-6.
