Averill Park pitcher Nick Cioffi came within two outs of a no-hitter as the Warriors defeated Bethlehem 4-1 in Wednesday’s Suburban Council South Division game in Delmar.
Cioffi was cruising until Zach Kundel singled with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning for the Eagles (0-1 league, 1-1 overall). Cioffi allowed one unearned run on a pair of Warrior errors in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Cioffi helped his own cause with a double and two singles for Averill Park (1-0, 2-0).`
