The path wasn’t easy, but the Rye baseball team made it look that way, beating top-seeded Panas twice on Sunday to win the Section 1 Class A tournament title.
The Garnets (22-4), whose only loss in the past 19 games was against Panas on May 27, got a double dose of revenge, defeating the Panthers 8-1 Sunday morning at SUNY Purchase to force a decisive Game 2.
In the winner-take-all showdown, Peter Davies threw a near-perfect game for a 5-0 victory. The senior pitcher hit three batters but allowed zero hits and zero walks, giving Rye its first section tournament crown since 2014.

“Get to the second game and anything can happen — and Davies happened,” said baseball coach Mike Bruno.
The Garnets advance to the regional final round on Saturday. Win there, and they’re onto the Class A New York state semifinals, June 13-14 in Binghamton.
