Saturday Sports Update

Voss combined with Jarod Burmaster on a two-hit shutout in a 2-0 Fredonia victory. Voss gave up consecutive one-out singles in the top of the 7th before Burmaster struck out the final two batters to preserve the win. Burmaster started the game on the hill and struck out seven in the first three innings. Photo by Ron Szot

Bottom left: Hannah Cybart continues to be a thorn in Wilson's side. Three months ago, she hit the game-winning shot that ended the basketball season for the Lakewomen. On Friday, she held Wilson to just three hits in the circle and added four hits and three runs at the plate as the Lady Billies cruised to a 13-1 win in the Section VI Class B-2 softball quarterfinals. Fredonia also had five home runs in the winning effort. Photo by Ron Szot
Bottom right: Nyquist will pursue the middle jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown today at Pimlico. The winner of the Kentucky Derby, Nyquist is the morning line favorite at 3-5 to win the 141st Preakness Stakes in what is expected to be a sloppy track.
