Sentinels run ends with finals defeat
By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR
BINGHAMTON | For the second time in 12 years, the Ticonderoga Sentinels have finished a baseball season in the state title game. Both times, the team finished as the runner up as the team suffered a 6-5 loss in the Class C state title game June 9 to Avon at NYSEG Field in Binghamton. “We were two outs away,” said Sentinel head coach Dan Dorsett. “We played the way we wanted to play and were very aggressive. We had a lead and were in position.” After the game was tied, 2-2, heading into the bottom of the fourth, Austin Barnao scored on an Evan Graney hit for a 3-2 lead. Russell Gallo then connected on a long fly ball to left center field, scoring two runs before Gallo was tagged out an the plate in his bid for an inside-the-park home run. An inning earlier, Gallo drove in Graney for the first run of the game, while Nick Robarge-Green scored Gallo to give the Sentinels their 2-0 lead. Avon then scored in the top of the fifth, sixth and seventh innings with a run-scoring double in the fifth, a runner scoring on a fielder’s choice in the sixth, and a wild pitch in the seventh to tie the game. Avon almost scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch, but Jack Grinnell was able to throw out the runner at the plate. For the game, Grinnell threw out three of four runners to try and steal second and one of two trying to take home plate.

After an out, Avon threw behind Robarge-Green on a pickoff attempt, where he appeared to be safe but was called out by the umpire. The inning the ended on a grounder. Avon then scored on a wild pitch to take the 6-5 lead in
the top of the eighth while the Sentinels were unable to respond in the bottom half. “It was an amazing season, but the sad part is saying goodbye to them,” Dorsett said. “They wanted to do something special this season and I think they still did.” » Final Four Cont. on pg. 14

TICONDEROGA | State agencies are holding the salt. The state Department of Transportation will use less of the substance this winter in a pilot program designed to monitor the environmental impacts of its application, a practice watchdogs contend is the modernday equivalent to acid rain. A test area in Lake George will cover a 17-mile stretch of Route 9N from the Village of Lake George to the Town of Bolton.
The Mirror Lake test area will be launched on a 16-mile stretch of state Route 86 starting at Old Military Road that passes through North Elba, Wilmington and the Village of Lake Placid. The program, launched in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Conservation, follows a daylong summit last fall that brought together experts and state officials to study the issue. Acting DOT Commissioner Paul Karas said road salt has proven to be one of the “most effective ways in maintaining a safe highway for the traveling public.” “At the same time, we understand that there is a delicate balance between protecting the Adirondacks and maintaining safe highways for motorists, given current materials and methods of technologies available,” Karas said in a statement.
