CLINTONVILLE — Heading into this week of high school baseball action, Saranac Lake still hadn’t tasted victory. So far, it’s turned out to be a pretty good week for the Red Storm.

On Thursday, Saranac Lake won for the second time in four days, topping AuSable Valley 9-2 for its second road victory of the week.

The Red Storm got a stellar performance at the plate from senior catcher Jaden Gladd, who went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Saranac Lake finished the game with 10 hits. Ben Munn had a 2-for-4 outing with a double and knocked in three runs, David Warner had a pair of hits and an RBI and Dylan Stewart batted in one run in the victory.

Carter Sturgeon also had a great day on the mound for Saranac Lake. Just a freshman, Sturgeon pitched a complete-game victory while allowing just three hits and fanning seven batters.

Saranac Lake is next scheduled to play at home today, hosting Saranac Central starting at 4:30 p.m.
