Johnstown second baseman Jason Biron (3) and shortstop Jordan Hill (5) look for the call as Gloversville’s Ryan McCloskey slides safely in to second with a stolen base in the fourth inning of Monday’s Foothills Council game at Husky Field.

GLOVERSVILLE — With the game tied in the top of the sixth inning Monday night, the Johnstown Sir Bills made the most of a Gloversville error to squeeze out some runs.

The Sir Bills combined aggressive base running, a pair of bunts and a home run to take the lead and finish the Foothills Council regular season with a 5-1 victory.

The win gives Johnstown a 7-7 Foothills Council record and drops Gloversville, who finished third in the league, to 9-5.

The teams will start play in the Foothills Council tournament Wednesday. Johnstown will host Queensbury, while Gloversville will host Glens Falls. The Sir Bills are the defending tournament champions.

Johnstown took an early lead in Monday night’s game when Jordan Hill tripled to deep right-center just out of reach of a diving attempt by the Huskies’ Josh Schrum. Hill crossed the plate with the game’s first run on Colin Lombardoni’s sacrifice fly for a 1-0 Johnstown advantage.
