WATERTOWN — Even when they’re down, the Watertown Rapids have rarely considered themselves out for most of their challenging season.
Despite blowing an early lead, the Rapids responded by finding a way to finally break through for a victory, winning in their season home finale Friday night.
After the Genesee Rapids won the first game of the day, 9-3, Watertown bounced back to prevail, 10-8, in the nightcap to split a New York Collegiate Baseball League played before a combined crowd of 418, including 250 in the second game, at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
In the second game, Watertown jumped out to an early 5-1 advantage, only to yield a big inning as Genesee struck for six runs in the fourth.
But Watertown bounced back by generating a decisive inning in the fifth by plating five runs to take the lead for good.
