BEAVERCREEK — The host Beavercreek Beavers claimed a 1-0 win over Kettering Fairmont in extra innings, to take sole possession of first place in the Greater Western Ohio Conference’s Central Division. The two teams are scheduled to play at 5 p.m. today in Kettering, weather permitting. Should Beavercreek win, they’ll clinch the GWOC Central title.
