On a day dominated by pitching Ticonderoga pushed across the lone run of the contest in the third frame and hung on to defeat Hoosic Valley 1-0 in a Class C regional baseball semifinal at Husky Field in Gloversville.
Winning pitcher Dalton Granger led off the third with a double and came around to score later in the inning on the only Hoosic Valley error in the game.
Granger scattered five hits and didn’t allow a base runner past second in picking up the complete game victory.
