Sapphire Edwards outduled her sister Jasmine for a third time this year as the Bayside sophomore hurler led the Commodores to a critical 6-2 win over Van Buren in a Queens III game Friday.
Bayside (11-5, 6-2) held a 2-0 lead until the sixth inning when Maria Scalisi capitalized on some shoddy Commodores defense with a game-tying two-run triple.
But Bayside answered right back in the top of the seventh with three straight singles. Clean-up hitter Talia Fromm followed with an RBI single to left. Two more runs scored on an error to the VeeBees leftfielder to put Bayside ahead 5-2. Kim Grabkowitz drove in Fromm for the Commodores final run.
