LEVITTOWN, PA — Cardinal O’Hara entered Wednesday on a hot streak in the PCL and with a chance to move to 3-0 in the league. The Lion offense did its job in keeping the win streak going, pouring in fourteen runs in an emphatic victory over Conwell-Egan.

Despite the 14-4 final scoreline, Conwell-Egan found themselves ahead early. A single and a double with runners on put them up 3-0 in the bottom of the third.

The O’Hara offense woke up in their next at-bat. Jason Coury and Sean Vaughn both singled with one out and eventually came around to score on two wild pitches, cutting the deficit to 3-2. 

Brendan Till and Jack Coleman got things going with one out again in the fifth. Both also singled, with Till scoring on a ground ball from Jack Quinn.

Jake Steigerwalt put the Lions ahead for the first time with a double. Coleman and Quinn both scored and O’Hara got a 5-3 lead that they only added to.

Still with one out, Coury walked, then Vaughn, Sean MacGillivary, and Thomas Flynn came through with three straight RBI singles. When all was said and done in the O’Hara half of the fifth, the Lions led 8-3.

They were not done though. After Egan got another run across, three walks in the sixth loaded the bases with one out for MacGillivary. He picked up another RBI with a single to left. Two more would score on an error during the same play to put O’Hara up 11-4.

Coleman, Quinn, and Steigerwalt all picked up RBI’s in the seventh, putting an exclamation point on a great day. Coleman and Quinn both singled, while Steigerwalt got a run across with a groundout.

Adam Schreiber had a solid bounce back on the mound after last week’s opener against Judge. Schreiber went 4.1 innings, scattering seven hits and giving up four earned runs. His six strikeouts to one walk was very encouraging and if he can keep that up, the High Point commit could be a serious weapon for the Lions.

Jack Coleman closed the game out in stellar fashion. He gave up no hits and struck out three in 2.2 scoreless innings.

Cardinal O’Hara has been off to a heck of a start, going 3-0 to begin the PCL season. That’s huge for their playoff hopes as avoiding that play in game will significantly benefit their pitching in the league tournament.

In terms of all Delco teams, I think they have an argument towards being one of the best here in early April. There’s a good chance you start seeing them on our Starting 9.

The Lions are back in action on Monday. They will try to get to 4-0 in the PCL on the road against Roman Catholic (0-2).
