— TICONDEROGA -- Hunter Denno hurled a complete-game three-hitter to lead Ticonderoga to a 3-0 win over Plattsburgh in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference baseball action Thursday.
Ticonderoga (10-1) scored three times in the second inning with just one batted ball leaving the infield.
With one out, Anthony Barnao singled and Tyler Bush followed with a walk. Jake Taylor laid down a sacrifice attempt and beat the throw to first to load the bases for the Sentinels.
Losing pitcher Patrick Shaughnessy induced Steven Lenhart to groundout to first that forced the lead runner at the plate. The next batter, Denno, grounded a ball to the hole between short and third and the infielder's throw was wide of first allowing Bush and Taylor, who was on second, to score.
Dan Steitz followed with a walk and Matt Streeter was hit by a pitch to force in the final run, before Shaughnessy ended the inning with a strikeout.
"We forced the issue the entire game," Ticonderoga head coach Dan Dorsett said. "We were trying to make Plattsburgh play under pressure and for the most part they did well.
"We didn't think three runs was going to win the game."
Denno, who had to work his way out of trouble in the first, third and seventh innings, finished with seven strikeouts.
The Hornets (7-3) threatened in the top of the first putting runners on second and third with one out, but Denno struck out the final two batters of the inning.
In the third inning, Denno surrendered a single, a walk and hit a batter, but struck out the final batter with the bases loaded.
In the final frame, the Hornets managed to get runners to second and third with two outs but Denno induced a groundout to complete the shutout.
"When we really needed him to step up, Hunter answered the call," Dorsett added. "He really had to work hard today to get big outs."
Barnao was the lone player in the game with two hits. Dan Steitz added a double for the Sentinels.
Shaughnessy allowed just five hits and struck out five in suffering the loss.
"Pat was tough on us the entire day," Dorsett added. "We put a lot of guys on base, but he really seemed to get tougher when the situation called for it."
