Stars finally win in 12th

BERNE — It took them two days and 12 innings, but the Starfires finally overcame Garrett.
Corey Seffernick hit a walk-off single in the 12th inning Wednesday to give the South Adams High School baseball team a 14-13 win over the visiting Railroaders in a game that started more than 24 hours earlier.
The Starfires had posted five runs to tie the game in the seventh inning Tuesday and both teams scored six times in the eighth before the game was suspended because of darkness. They played three more scoreless innings Wednesday before Seffernick finally delivered the game-winning hit.
Collin Affolder went 4-for-5 with a double, a walk and two runs in the marathon game. Blake Fox had three hits and two runs.
Affolder picked up the win, holding Garrett to one hit in four scoreless innings Wednesday.
