Section III titles on the line as first-round games begin Tuesday
CENTRAL NEW YORK (WUTR/WFXV?WPNY) — After several Memorial Day play-in games on Monday, the Section III Baseball Tournament begins in earnest on Tuesday. Looking to defend their Section III title will be Class D's Oriskany and Class B's Little Falls. The Skyhawks made it all the way to the state final last year before being shut out in the state final against Arkport-Canaseraga. The Mounties made it to the state semi-finals before losing to Section II's Taconic Hills. The Skyhawks only suffered one loss this season by one run to Waterville on April 11. That earned them the top seed and a bye to the second round, where they will face the winner of an all-local matchup between New York Mills and Hamilton. That quarterfinal game will be played on Thursday, May 29 at 4:30 in Oriskany. Little Falls earned the number five seed in Class B, going 11-5 this year. They suffered two losses to Oriskany this season, as well as a state quarterfinal rematch with Oneonta — which they lost 8-2. They finished out the 2025 season on a tear, winning six of their last seven by a combined 92 to 14, including a 24-0 win over Dolgeville and a 23-1 win over Clinton. The Mounties will face off with 12th seeded Mount Markham, whom they defeated 9-8 on April 23. The Mounties and Mustangs will face off at 6 pm on Tuesday, May 27. In Class AAA, Proctor was dominant this season despite going 1-2 to start. Six of the Raiders' 11 wins this season were double-digit wins, including wins over Watertown and Oneida where they scored more than 20 runs. That 11-5 record gave Proctor the number-two seed in the tournament, and will host a game on Tuesday against Syracuse. First pitch in that game is set for 5 pm in Utica. In Class AA, Whitesboro's only loss within their class came on May 19 in a 2-1 loss at Oswego — their other two losses came to Class A top seed Jamesville-DeWitt and AAA's Proctor. Luke Slatton's Whitesboro squad have torn through the Tri-Valley League, going 4-1 and taking the Colonial Division, with a 5-1 record at home. They will host seventh-seeded Watertown, who broke a nine-game winless streak — with one tie — on the last day of the season with a 3-2 win over Indian River. First pitch on Tuesday between Whitesboro and the Cyclones is set for 4:30 pm in Whitesboro. In Class A, New Hartford earned the number two seed, thanks to winning all eight of their games at Don Edick Field. The Spartans won their last six games — four of those at home — including a 2-1 over Class AAA Proctor on May 19. An 8-0 record at home was not enough to come home with the Tri-Valley Colonial title, which went to Whitesboro thanks to a 2-2 record in the division. It was, however, good enough to earn New Hartford a bye into the quarterfinal round, where they will face the winner of Tuesday afternoon's game between Central Valley Academy and Carthage. First pitch in Ilion is set for 7 pm. In Class C, Frankfort-Schuyler started out the season 4-3 before racking up six straight wins to earn the class' fifth seed. During their six-game winning streak, the Maroon Knights scored more than ten runs in four of them, including a 14-5 win over fellow playoff team Herkimer. Their streak was snapped on the last day of the season with a 10-5 loss to Sauquoit Valley, thanks to a six-run first inning. That loss earned the Maroon Knights a rematch with the 12th-seeded Red Hawks at Ferraro Field on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 4:30 pm.
