In its last action prior to the holiday break, the Baldwinsville wrestling team hosted Auburn Wednesday night and piled up lots of points in a 72-18 victory over the Maroons. Brent Grippe, in the 145-pound opener, got the Bees moving with a pin over Tom Campagnola in 1:23. Nick Balduzzi (160 pounds) finished off Kyle Hunt in 1:13, while Joe Nasoni (171 pounds) needed that exact same time to pin Dan McCormick and Brian Honsinger, at 189 pounds, earned his pin over Nick Pysnack in 1:45.
B’ville didn’t get away, though, until the latter stages, which included forfeits to Kevin Paul (96 pounds), Tim Sposato (103 pounds) and Vito Caloia (119 pounds). In between, Chad McArdell, at 112 pounds, pinned Dustin Swan in 1:40, and the closing stretch kicked off with Joey Shaheen’s 125-pound pin of Nick Campagnola at the end of the first period. Kevin Norton, at 130 pounds, waited until the third period to pin Joe GIacona, while Ryan McArdell (135 pounds) earned his fall over Noah Christianelli in 3:21 and, in the finale, Anthony Rifakis (140 pounds) took 12 more seconds than McArdell to pin Steve Ansteth. B’ville will join 10 other teams at Dolgeville next Tuesday and Wednesday for the annual Mountain Duals before resuming league action Jan. 5 at Central Square.
