Northern Lebanon 4, Middletown 3
On Saturday, the Vikings hosted the Middletown Blue Raiders. Adrian Gonzalez, the two-time reigning LebCo Pitcher of the Year, got the start for the Vikings. The junior threw another gem, as the Northern Lebanon offense came through in clutch situations to give Northern Lebanon their third victory in four contests to start the season.
After a quiet 1st inning, the Vikings got took the lead in the Bottom 2nd when Connor Stoltz led off with a triple and as subsequently driven home two batters later when Christian Anspach hit a single with two runners on-base. A walk to Vincent Battistelli loaded the bases before Owen Fahringer hit a sacrifice fly which allowed Brian Bicksler to cross home, making the score 2-0.
After Gonzalez punched out three batters in the Top 3rd, the Vikings again put up two runs in their next turn at the plate. This time, Bicksler hit a grounder that was mishandled, allowing Brady Ryan to score (Ryan was pinch-running for Stoltz, who had doubled). In the next at-bat, Anspach singled to drive home Kaden Beamesderfer, who had reached on a walk. The inning ended with Northern Lebanon leading 4-0.
Gonzalez shut down the Blue Raiders until the 6th inning when Middletown mounted a two-out rally with a walk followed by two doubles to make the score 4-2. Ryan came in for the save in the 7th, allowing one run before the final out was recorded.
Gonzalez’s performance was again dominant as he had 11 Ks over 6 innings (2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB). Ryan got the save with his 1 IP (1 ER, K, 2 BB).
Northern Lebanon (3-1) will travel to Cocalico on Monday.
