May 20—DEKALB JUNCTION — A look through the banners on the high school gym walls confirmed what Hermon-DeKalb Softball Coach Bob Bice already knew. It had been a long time since a Lady Green Demon Softball Team had won the NAC West Division title.
More precisely it has been 31 years since a H-D squad had won the banner outright and 25 years since a Demon band had shared the highly coveted crown.
The waits for both could end in the next two days as the Demons, who secured a 9-2 win over Hammond on Monday, play Heuvelton today and Harrisville on Wednesday. Harrisville has two suffered two losses in league and kept their title hopes alive with a 23-7 win over Edwards-Knox and Lisbon, which lost to Massena 6-4 on Monday, has completed divisional play at 10-2.
H-D stands at 9-1 and has posted nine straight wins off a loss to Lisbon on the opening day of the season.
Heuvelton dropped a 13-12 nonleague loss to Brushton-Moira on Monday and one NAC West Baseball game saw Hermon-DeKalb drop Morristown 11-3.
Madrid-Waddington (10-0) claimed sole comtrol of the NAC East title by outscoring Colton-Pierrepont 12-8.
SOFTBALL
H-D 9 — Hammond 2: Maya Green hammered a two-run homerun in the bottom of the sixth inning to complete a 3-3 day at the plate add a precious two-runs to the H-D cushion. Lauren Bishop pitched a complete win with four strikeoouts matching up with the Red Devils Makia Greene who struck out seven.
"Both pitchers pitched well enough win. This was a big defensive game for us and we took advantage of errors to score early in the game," said H-D Coach Bob Bice.
"Hammond is a good team and that made Maya Green's homerun so important. She crushed it and she can really run and is a great athlete. We need to win against Heuvelton and then face Harrisville in a huge game."
Bishop, Nellie French (1 RBI), Emily VanBrocklin (RBI) and Ava Besaw all singled for H-D.
Addy Graveline, who threw out H-D's firstbase runner out at second on a steal attempt, went 2-2 for Hammond and Mikaya Jones,Kayla Vaugh, Greene and Hunter Simmons all singled.

Sami Lottie,Parker and Stella Todd all singled twice for E-K.
Massena 6 — Lisbon 4: The Golden Knights, who finished the NAC West race with a 10-2 record, tuned up for the sectionals in a nonleague loss to the Raiders of the Central Division. Emmna Gushlaw pitched the win backed by two singles from Montana Nezezone and Casey Oliver and a double by Kayli Ledbetter.
Adia Richards struck out nine on the Lisbon mound and singled twice along with Malorie Meuten and Regan Pirie. Aubrey Bono singled.
B-M 13 — Heuvelton 12: The Panthers scored three runs with two outs in the bottom of the seventh on an error to edge the Bulldogs in a nonleague game. Paige Johnson doubled and singled and Aryiah Clark tripled. Heuvelton took the lead scoring twice in the top of the seventh inning.
