Emporium also got four strong innings on the mound from Ryan Bresslin, who swatted four hits, including a pair of doubles, and drove in four runs. Ralph McKimm Jr. had three singles and two RBI. Paul Baker also contributed two hits.

In other recent action, Austin squared its record at 3-3 with a 35-5 slaughter of host Ludlow on Sunday. Austin was coming off a disappointing 18-4 loss to visiting Olean AOH on Saturday.
