COLDWATER __ Top-seeded Coldwater knocked the visiting Bluffton baseball team out of Div. III sectional finals Friday by an 11-1 score.
The hosts scored two times in the bottom of the first frame to grab an early lead. Bluffton plated its lone run in the top of the third to pull within 2-1.
But a six-run Cavalier third inning gave the hosts an 8-1 cushion.
Coldwater added a run in the fourth and they tacked on two more in the sixth to invoke the 10-run mercy rule.
The Pirates ended their season 10-11 after the loss. The Cavaliers (22-5) advanced to the district semifinals at Elida vs. Fort Recovery (10-11) May 20 with the sectional title victory.
