LANSDALE, PA — Bonner continued their climb back into PCL contention today, scoring eleven runs across the fifth and sixth innings to beat Lansdale Catholic 13-1 in six innings.

Michael Klawansky took the hill for the Friars and was brilliant. He pitched the entire game, only giving up an unearned run on one hit and struck out six. Klawansky took a no-hitter into the sixth.

It was a fantastic start from another Bonner pitcher that’s maybe seeing a few more innings than expected with Cory Sheridan out. The complete game also saves the rest of the staff for Thursday’s Delco Baseball Now game of the week matchup against rival Cardinal O’Hara.

Sergio Hernandez and Michael Coleman led the way from the top two spots in the lineup. Both had two hits and two RBI’s. Cole Romano also picked up two hits on the day.

A seven-spot in the fifth put this game away. Leading 2-0, Hernandez led off with a single. Ryan Friel singled him home and a walk and another single loaded the bases.

Bonner’s offense took off from there. Gavin DiRita drew the second of his three walks on the day, bringing in the fourth run. Jack Redding then got hit by a pitch and brought in the fifth.

Joey Graziani singled to make it 6-0 and Luke Albarano made the most of a pinch hit opportunity, hitting a two-run single to left. Coleman finished off the inning with an RBI double that gave the Friars a commanding 9-0 lead.

Four more came across in the top of the sixth and Klawansky slammed the door on the mercy-rule victory.

The Friars are now 4-4 in the PCL and working their way back up the standings after a rough start. Thursday is a huge opportunity for them; Bonner has the chance to get above .500 in the league for the first time this year and score a huge win over their rival in the process.
