Kendall’s bid to claim a Section V baseball title was interrupted by thunder and lightning this evening.

Top seeded Kendall held a 5-0 lead over No. 2 Genesee Valley-Belfast in the Class C2 championship game when stormy weather halted play in the top of the third inning at Dwyer Stadium in Batavia.

Kendall scored 4 quick runs in the first inning on a two run error and a two-run double by Nic Cole and one in the second on aground out off the bat of CJ D’Agostino. Jonny Conte, Vinnie D’Agostino and Colby Hughes also all had singles to help key the big first inning uprising.

The game is tentatively scheduled to resume at 10 a.m. Saturday at Dwyer Stadium.
