#9 Palmyra 7, #8 Hershey 3 (District 3 5A – First Round)
Jonathan Strohecker (WP, 4ip, 1 Unearned Run, 7K), Braydon Bown (2ip, no runs), and Ethan Lodish (1ip, two runs/one earned) shut down the Hershey offense and outdueled the Trojan ace to lead the Cougars to victory in the opening round of districts. Palmyra jumped out to a five run lead in the top of the first, opening up with consecutive singles from Kaden Readinger, Aiden Willard, and Chase Blanchard. A wild pitch, an infield error, a single by Nate Osteen and a single by Julian Meley rounded out the scoring for the Cougars in the opening frame. Alex Dorta added an RBI single in the second and Willard singled home a run in the third as the PHS pitching held Hershey at bay. The Trojans scored once in the second and twice in the seventh as they drop to the consolation bracket.
Palmyra will face #1 Governor Mifflin on Monday, May 20, 2024 at 4:30pm at Governor Mifflin.
Box Score
#8 ELCO 6, #9 Kennard-Dale 0 (District 3 4A – First Round)
ELCO and Kennard-Dale played a pigtail game in round one with the winner moving onto the quarterfinals. Morgan Shanaman was dominant on the mound, allowing one hit and two walks to the Rams, striking out six for a complete game 87 pitch shutout. Colin Bogart and Dallas George took their at bats in “rookie mode” today, both putting up “video game numbers.” Bogart was 3 for 3 with two RBI and one run scored while George was 2 for 4 with two doubles and four RBI to lead the Raider offense.
ELCO advances to face #1 Bermudian Springs on Monday, May 20, 2024 at 4:30pm at Bermudian Springs.
Box Score
#5 Manheim Township 11, #12 Cedar Crest 1 (District 3 6A – First Round)
A mere eighteen days ago, Cedar Crest knocked off the Blue Streaks who barely qualified for leagues, which they subsequently won after getting hot at the right time. On Friday, the Streaks continued their streak. Three Falcon errors in the 3rd led to a catastrophic eleven run inning by the opportunistic Manheim Township squad. This led to Crest being sent home early in the District 3 6A tourney. Owen Brown had two hits and the only RBI for Crest, while Vincent Good drew two walks and Jackson Custer added a hit.
