BEEKMANTOWN -- Gino Blando's two-run single highlighted a five-run fifth inning to lead Plattsburgh to a win over Beekmantown.

Trailing 3-1, the Hornets (7-2, 7-2) used a pair of walks from losing pitcher Andrew Price and a pair of defensive miscues by the Eagles (6-6, 5-5) to set the stage for Blando's big hit.

"We got outplayed in every aspect of the game today," Beekmantown coach Jim Knight said. "We made a couple of errors that hurt us. They played a better baseball game than we did."

Winning pitcher Brandon Hatch scattered five hits and struck out three in hurling the complete game for the Hornets.

Frank Buksa had the big day at the plate driving in all three of Beekmantown's runs with two hits, including a two-run homer in the third.

Blando and Patrick Shaughnessy had two hits apiece for the Hornets.
