Highclimbers nip Bobcats on tiebreaker

SHELTON — It came down to the number of games won, but Shelton came away with a victory over Aberdeen in a non-league match at Shelton on Wednesday.

Aberdeen (5-2) dominated singles play, but Shelton swept the doubles matches. Each team won six sets so it came down to games to decide a winner and Shelton won 45 games as a team compared to 41 for Aberdeen.

Ryan Solan, Harlan Troy and Luis Garcia each needed just two sets to earn a victory in singles play for the Bobcats.

“Our singles are running through the opponents like a buzz saw,” Aberdeen coach Andy Duffy said. “Our No. 2 and No. 3 players are undefeated and Ryan is doing what he needs to do to get wins.”

Aberdeen hosts Black Hills on Friday.
