Northern Lebanon 9, Lebanon 0
At Coleman’s Park, Northern Lebanon visited Lebanon on Friday afternoon. For much of the game, it was a pitching duel. Lebanon junior Ben DiScuillo held the Vikings to just 2 runs, 1 earned, through 5.1 innings. In the 7th inning, Northern Lebanon’s bats got going, as they put up a crooked number 7 to run the score to 9-0. Sophomore Adrian Gonzalez earned the complete game shutout for Northern Lebanon, giving up 2 hits and striking out 9. Senior Moises Gonzalez went 2-5 with a 3B and 2 RBI. Adrian Gonzalez helped his own cause with 2 RBI.
After the game, Northern Lebanon’s Coach Thome told LebCoSports.com, “Gonzo (Adrian) pitched a great game through all seven innings. We were fortunate that our errors didn’t hurt us. In the final inning, the bats finally woke up and did what we expected. Considering the errors and our lack of hitting through most of the game, we were fortunate to get by the Cedars.”
Northern Lebanon (1-0) is away at Hamburg on Tuesday. Lebanon (0-1) travels to Cedar Crest on Monday. Box Score
Hershey 8, Palmyra 0
After their season-opening win over Susquehannock on Thursday, the Cougars traveled to Hershey on Friday for their Keystone Division opener. They were tasked with facing Danny Nelson, a junior already committed to Clemson. Nelson silenced the Palmyra bats, with the only hit coming courtesy of Keagen Kleinfelter when he hit a double with two outs in the 7th inning. Nelson finished with 11 Ks in 6.2 IP. Palmyra (1-1) made some mistakes that made Hershey’s job a bit easier, something they hope to correct when they are back in action on Monday against Manheim Central.
