Ben Fitch stole home on an overthrow error as the Warriors walked off Sayre, 8-7 in eight innings, during NTL baseball action.

It was back and forth all evening long as Sayre led 5-2 in the middle of the second, only for Canton to rally and take a 7-6 lead after five.

Sayre tied it up in the top of the sixth, and it stayed that way until the eighth.

Fitch (3-for-3) had a double with three runs scored, as Michael Beers (3-for-4) had a double with 2-RBI.

Bailey Gardner (1-for-3) had a double with an RBI, and three runs scored, while Tommy Preston (1-for-4) scored, and drove in a run.

Rylan Wesneski drove in a run, and had an RBI, as Zack Colton, and Carson Castle both drove in runs. Reed Taylor (1-for-3) also had a hit.

Colton went the final six innings to get the win, striking out 10 with four hits, two walks, and one earned run.

Gardner started, and went one inning with two strikeouts, three walks, one hit, and three runs, one of which was earned.

Wesneski tossed the second inning with two hits, three walks, and three runs, two of which were earned.
