ONONDAGA COUNTY – To have any chance of maintaining its SCAC Metro division regular-season crown, the Baldwinsville boys golf team would have to sweep three matches this week – and did so.

It began Tuesday with the Bees wiping out Cicero-North Syracuse Green 190-242 at Timber Banks, led again by Aiden Motala, who posted a two-under-par 34.

Owen Frechette finished seccond, notching a 38. Billy Shipman and Jacob Penafeather both finished with 39 and Caleb Kinley’s 40 completed a top-five B’ville sweep.

At Foxfire a day later, B’ville faced Liverpool and, while it proved quite close, the Bees were able to fight its way past the Warriors 191-194.

Both teams played well, as evidenced by the three rounds of 35 – two of them by Frechette and Motala, the other by Liverpool’s Owen Salanger as his teammates Brady Michaud (36) Owen Michaud (38) rounded out the top five.

In order to pull out the match, the Bees needed two more rounds under 40, which they got when Kinley and Alex Blum both finished with 39.

Then it was Thursday’s match with C-NS Blue, a team the Bees beat by a single shot, 204-205, on Aug. 31. Three weeks later, and back home at Timber Banks, B’ville would prevail by a larger margin.

The 196-209 victory included Motala shooting 36, Shipman posting 37 and Frechette adding a 38, all ahead of the Northstars’ low round of 39 from Drew Kippen. Then Blum earned a 42 and Alex Roziok added a 43 to keep the Bees out in front.

All of this brought the Bees (10-2) closer to the top of the standings since West Genesee Gold, who was undefeated, lost a 201-202 thriller to Fayeteville-Manlius Green. The Bees face both of these teams at Timber Banks this week and could climb right back to the top of the standings.

Just before B’ville Red met C-NS Green, B’ville White lost a tight 233-236 decision to those same Northstars last Monday at Greens at Beaumont.

Craig Vredenburg shot a 43 to tie for second, behind only the 41 from the Northstars’ Blake Wise. Trevor Miller was fourth with a 46 and Brayden Sheridan tied for sixth with a 47.

But the Bees when two other C-NS Green golfers broke 50. Cooper Pallotta’s 47 and Andrew Dolson’s 48 beat out the individual 50s from Dominic DeRito and Rocco Weaver.

A day later, B’ville White fell 221-232 to Fayetteville-Manlius White, though Weaver’s 42 tied the Hornets’ Chet Baron-Phillips for individual honors. DeRito tied for fourth with a 44, with Sheridan shooting 47 ahead of Miller’s 49 and Vredenburg’s 50.
