A strong pitching performance keyed No. 8 seed Lyndonville to a 3-0 victory over No. 9 CG Finney in the pre-quarterfinal round of the Section V Class D baseball tournament this afternoon at Lyndonville.
Quincey McClinsey and Atticus Mank combined to hurl the Tigers to the shutout win. McClinsey allowed no hits and stuck out 8 over the first four innings. Mank gave up 3 hits and fanned 6 over the final three frames.
The Tigers scored the only run they would need as it turned out in the second inning on an RBI single by Lane Woodworth.
Lyndonville added a pair of big insurance runs in the fourth inning on a passed ball and an RBI single by Shawn Robertson. A single by Austin Fonda and an error set up the threat.
Lyndonville will next face the winner of the No. 16 Mt. Morris at No. 1 Arkport/Canaseraga game in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
