Shortstop Frank Petroskey continued his torrid hitting Monday, going 3-for-3 to lead the offensive attack. He singled in his first at bat for his 100th hit, the first player in Cooperstown baseball history to accumulate 100 career hits. Buddy Lippitt held the previous school record with 93 career hits.

Since reaching 100 hits, Petroskey has not made an out since. He was also 3-for-3 in a 6-5 loss at Mt. Markham on Tuesday, and has three triples and three singles in his last six at bats, and 105 career hits and counting. Petroskey, headed to play Dvision One baseball at Vermont University in the fall, has been the starting shortstop since his freshman season. This year, he has 30 hits in 49 at bats for a .619 batting average.

``It seems like he gets three hits a game and he also does so many other things for us,’’ Miosek said.

Brian Segit homered during a four-run second inning, and catcher Philip Pohl also added three hits in the win over Waterville.

Pohl’s play earlier in the week was key in putting the Redskins in position to clinch the title Monday. Last Wednesday, CCS trailed second place Mt. Markham 5-1 heading to the bottom of the seventh inning, but Pohl completed a five run rally with a two-out two-run home run to end the game. He also got the pitching win in relief.

On Friday at Sherburne, Cooperstown defeated the Maruaders 6-2 in 10 innings. Pohl’s single in the 10th inning scored the first two runs, and he again got the pitching win in relief of starter Luke Banner, who went six strong innings.

On Saturday, CCS traveled to Syracuse to play Bishop Ludden, and lost 6-2 to the Class B school. Ludden scored four first inning runs off of sophomore starter Mac Curran, who settled down to pitch five innings, allowing just one more run.

``Canastota won the league last year, and we want to finish strong and enter sectionals with a flurry,’’ Miosek said.

Making Cooperstown’s division title all the more impressive is the fact all the teams but Waterville are Class B schools, while CCS is a C school.

The Section Three Class C seeding meeting will be held Sunday, and Cooperstown (14-3, 8-1) figures to get a high seed for the tournament.
