RADNOR, PA- After taking their first loss of the season yesterday to #1 ranked Haverford, Radnor was ready to get back in the win column and it didn’t take long.

For the first five innings, this game was the lights out Radnor baseball the league has seen all season so far. On the mound, Ryan McWilliams held his team down for the first 5.2 innings where he struck out eleven and allowed just two runs to score on the Green Raiders six hits, a dominant performance from the Raptors top three arm.

Off the mound, the Raptors were just as dominant. In the bottom of the second, Joe Krasowski singled to get the momentum started and pitcher Ryan McWilliams took his energy and ran with it (he actually doubled but same difference.) With runners on first and second no outs, Will Selbach would have a sacrifice fly scoring Krasowski, with Teddy Monahan immediately following with a single scoring John Belveal (pinch runner for McWilliams) and wouldn’t you know this game was 2-0 Radnor.

But this wasn’t the end of the Radnor rally, Matt Szychulski would triple into center, scoring Monahan. At this point, the momentum was just flowing and after a wild pitch and single by Daniel Kellis, the Raptors would be up 4-0.

Ridley would have something to say after starting off the third inning with a walk and a double, and ultimately John Teehan would score for Ridley on a passed ball, but McWilliams would get Radnor out of the inning with minimal damage at 4-1.

It was quiet on both sides of the ball for the next few, but Radnor leading 4-1 would build on the lead and make a comeback that much harder for Ridley in the fifth. Evan Hartman would be walked, (replaced by John Belveal) and Kyle Miltenberger would single, and the Raptors were knocking on the door once again. With another clutch single, Krasowski would bring home both runners and Radnor opened up to a 6-1 lead.

Ridley would threaten with a run in the sixth after Luke Ladislaw would score on an error, but ultimately Blake Havertine would get the Raptors out of the inning holding onto the 6-2 lead. They would throw one last hoorah in the seventh after Joey McGuire scored via a series of walks and a sac fly but Radnor held on and find themselves back in the win column.

Along with strong pitching by Mcwilliams, the Raptors were led by Joe Krasowski who went 2/3 with 2 RBI and a run scored and Teddy Monahan who went 2/4 with an RBI and a run.

Radnor (4-1) will host Lower Merion (5-2) at home for the second game of their homestand at 4:15 next Monday (3/14) afternoon.

Ridley (3-5) have some non-conference/scrimmage spring break games down south but will be back Tuesday April 22nd to face Springfield (1-5) away at 3:45 pm.

SPRINGFIELD, PA- And then there were two. In a battle of the two remaining Central League teams without a win, someone had to win.

The final score may have only been 3-1, and a low scoring game was pretty likely in this one, but pitching is really what mattered today.

In a battle of pitchers, Denny Monastra and Pat Callahan both had days that both respective teams should be proud of. For Springfield, Monastra cruised through six, striking out six, but most importantly, only allowed one run to score on five hits by the Royals.

This would be key in such a low scoring game. But on the other side, Upper Darby had Pat Callahan controlling the mound, Callahan took the Royals five deep, striking out seven, and held the Cougars to just three runs on seven hits.

With solid pitchers on the mound, scoring didn’t come easily, but ultimately that’s how games are won. At the end of the day, Springfield would ultimately get the first and last word, but it didn’t come easy. Springfield would score a lone run in the bottom of the second after a single by Danny Meakim brought home John Hopkins, Springfield would lead 1-0.

Without a response from Upper Darby in their half of the inning, the Panthers would strike once more to make this one 2-0 after Patrick O’Neill hit a sacrifice bunt, scoring Landon Ragan.

Don’t count out Upper Darby quite yet though… after a 2-2 count, Jack Trask would single, bringing home Tim Ramirez, bringing the score to 2-1.

Unfortunately, though, that would be the end of the Royals comeback, and the Cougars would rack up one more in the fifth after a monster of a triple by Sean O’Reilly scored Tanner Coll. The Cougars sneak away with this one, 3-1.

Landon Ragan went 2/3 on the day scoring a run, and Sean O’Reilly went 1/3 with and RBI and a triple to push Springfield over Upper Darby.

Upper Darby (0-6) stays on the search of their first win, and they will host Marple Newtown (3-3) next Monday at 3:45 in hopes to reach the win column.

Springfield (1-5) will take their first win to the #1 Haverford Fords (6-0) on Monday at 3:45.

RIDLEY, PA- In a rollercoaster of a game that saw a 3-0 lead shortened to a 3-3 tie game to an eventual 4-4 tie in the ninth inning, this game was the ultimate example of its never over until it’s over.

The Lions came into this game looking to get the bats swinging fast and their top three rotation would do just that. On just the second pitch of the game, Lucas Punzo would single and after stealing second, Landon Graham would double, scoring Punzo putting the Lions up 1-0.

This would be short lived however, with a groundout by Henry Murphy, Graham would score, and suddenly the Lions were up 2-0 and threatening.

Luckily for Ridley, starting pitcher Jake Mansfield would get them out of the inning quickly ending their rally by picking up the final two outs. Mansfield would end up taking Ridley through the first five, striking out three, and allowed the Lions first three runs.

However, despite a quick start in the first for Penncrest, the game was a pitching duel. Ridley starter, Mansfield and the defense kept the Lions scoreless until the fifth and the Lions relied heavily on starting pitcher, Henry Murphy. Murphy took Penncrest 4.2 innings, striking out five, and kept this game in the Lions favor until the remaining runs were tacked on.

The bats finally got swinging again for Penncrest in the top of the fifth after a single by Andrew Luber-Solic and the gift of an error resulted in Asher Wynne coming home, making the score 3-0. (Gotta love free stuff).

Down 3-0 in the fifth, Ridley needed a spark, and they got it. After a leadoff single by Shane Rentz, the Green Raiders were starting the comeback.

Bobby Doherty would single, reaching second, and would be brought home by Brendan Soper to bring in the first run of the day for Ridley. Like Penncrest’s first scoring sequence, this would progress quickly as the next two batters both drove in runs, and this game was 3-3. Luke Ladislaw had an RBI ground out and Jake Mansfield helped himself out with an RBI double.

The game would remain tied until the Lions had something to say in the top of the seventh. With just one out, this half inning would see Cooper Bittle hit by a pitch, a walk, and a sac fly, but all that mattered in the end was all these things combined ended with Bittle coming home and making this game 4-3 on a Luber-Solic sac fly.

Not for long though…. Ridley would have their own response in their half of the seventh and after a nearly identical sequence to Penncrest in the seventh, (hit by a pitch, a single and a sac fly from Soper) this game would be tied AGAIN 4-4.

But all games must come to an end at some point, and despite it taking nine innings, Penncrest had the final blows in the ninth inning. After Jeremy Schneider and Luber-Solic both reached base after a double and a single, Lucas Punzo would have a go-ahead sac fly to put Penncrest up 5-4 and after a single by Landon Graham and double by Henry Murphy, this game reached its final score of 7-4.

The Green Raiders would try for one last rally in the bottom of the ninth starting off strong with back-to-back singles, but ultimately Jeremy Schneider would take them out clean, finishing the last three innings and holding onto the win in this one.

It certainly wasn’t easy for either side, and for some, may be a flashback to last year as these two teams also went into extras with a Ridley win, but Penncrest holds on this time and both teams will have to get right back to work tomorrow.

Penncrest (2-3) will be home tomorrow against the #1 ranked team in Delco in Haverford (6-0) at 3:45.

Ridley (3-4) will look to get back in the win column as they visit the #2 ranked Radnor Raptors (5-1) tomorrow at 4:15.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA- On a dreary Monday where almost all other Central League competitions were cancelled, Marple’s turf field came in clutch (once again), but home field advantage wasn’t enough to hold off the hot Aces.

Despite this game being relocated to an away game for Lower Merion, Brian Heck came into this game like he was on his home mound. Besides a walk, Heck took the Tigers down in order in the top of the first, striking out all three batters. A big piece of the defense for the day, Brian took the Aces five innings, striking out seven, and allowing just one run to score.

Heck would hold the Tigers down for the first two innings until the bats got swinging. But it wasn’t as easy as taking them down in order each time. In an incredibly patient effort, the Tigers had seven walks on the day and three in the second. However, Heck would take the Aces out of the inning clean, but not without a fight.

The Aces first two runs of the day were scored on an error that resulted in Nicholas Dragut and Brendan scoring, bringing the score to 2-0.

Marple went down in order in the third, getting the Aces back on the field quickly after opening up 2-0. Let’s just say, the gates were about to open up, and the deficit for Marple was about to get a heck of a lot bigger.

After singles by Gus Wright and Brody Slensky, Hollowell would come in clutch with a single, knocking the score up to 4-0. But Lower Merion wasn’t done yet, Calvin Rendle would double, sending Hollowell to third. (there was only one out at this point…) Anyways. After a pitching change by Marple sending in Lancaster there would be two outs, but someone clearly didn’t tell Charlie Parsons that cause the next play saw a triple, bringing in three runs, putting the Aces up 7-0.

Luckily for Marple, pitching would keep the Aces contained, but on the contrary, Lower Merion was not going to give up a seven-run lead and that was for sure.

The Aces would tack on two more after singles by Rendle and Dragut, bringing in one run, and then there was Parsons, once again. After punching in another triple, the Aces were up 9-0 in the bottom of the fifth.

Marple would put together their own rally in the sixth, scoring two runs after a single and a sequence of errors, but it’s incredibly hard to win games when you go down 9-0, and that would remain true today.

The Aces were led by starting pitcher Brian Heck, as well as Charlie Parsons 2/4 on the day with 2 triples and 4 RBI’s and Calvin Rendle, 2/2 on the day scoring two runs.

The Aces (5-1) look to stay hot at Strath Haven (4-1) on Wednesday afternoon at 3:45 in a crucial Central League battle. In a league with no playoff system, these games mean that much more.

Marple Newtown (3-3) will look to get back in the win column on Wednesday afternoon when they take on Garnet Valley (3-2) at home at 3:45.

DREXEL HILL, PA- Well, in a battle of the two teams in the Central League without a win before today’s matchup, somebody had to win.

With strong pitching from Pioneers starter, Henry Fuerst, and clutch hitting from James Quici and Josh Lee, Conestoga was able to sneak past the Royals to enter the win column for the first time this season.

On the mound, both pitchers held their own, but Henry Fuerst had himself a day that ultimately helped the Pioneers come away with this one. Fuerst pitched the first five, striking out nine, and allowed six hits, yet with the help of his defense, none of them came home.

Despite no runs coming home for Upper Darby, they didn’t make it easy for Conestoga. Starting pitcher for the Royals Pat Callahan took Upper Darby 6.1 innings, striking out six, allowed seven hits, but only two runs ultimately scored.

With two steady pitchers on the mound, you take runs as you can get them, and for Conestoga the guys they looked to today were James Quici and Josh Lee.

In the top of the third, after a single by both Quici and Lee, Cooper Evers would hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Lee, giving the Pioneers the boost they needed.

Callahan would ensure the Pioneers didn’t score again in the third and kept them quiet until the fifth.

Unfortunately for the Royals, the Quici and Lee duo of the day wasn’t quite done yet. In the top of the fifth, Lee would double to get the inning started and once again Quici would finish the job with a single, scoring Lee, putting the Pioneers up to the final score of 2-0.

The rest of the game went quickly, and Conestoga would hold onto this one and take their first game of the season, the first win of Anthony Greco’s Pioneer career.

Conestoga (1-4) will have a few days off and face Springfield (0-4) at home next Monday at 3:45.

Upper Darby (0-5) will be back in action on Friday in an out of conference game against Norristown at 3:45 at home.

GARNET VALLEY, PA- Lower Merion found themselves up 3-0 early in this one, but would quickly be matched with Garnet’s offense, forcing them to battle back.

The main guy behind the battle back? Junior Ryan Scholz. With a breakout game consisting of three hits, including a triple and two RBI’s, Scholz was the backbone of the Aces offense in this one. Oh, and he also got the save on the mound.

But not to be forgotten, is how the Aces started this one off. In the top of the second, Jack Hollowell hit a bomb to left, putting the Aces up 1-0.

The bottom of the second would go quickly with Brian Heck on the mound putting Garnet down in order with the exception of a single by Chris Schaller.

With a quick second, the Aces were able to bring the momentum from Hollowell’s homer and build on their 1-0 lead. Charlie Parsons would single into left to start off the inning and crossed home just a play after, with a triple crushed into center by Ryan Scholz. At this point Lower Merion would find themselves up 2-0, but with a groundout by Gus Wright, Scholz would bring the score to 3-0.

For the next three innings, both teams would cruise with their starting pitchers doing what they needed to do.

For the Aces Brian Heck would complete the first four, with no runs allowed and seven strikeouts. After his time was over, Justin Heck, relived for two, coming in recording one strikeout, allowing three runs.

For Garnet, it was Joe Anzalone going five innings, striking out four, and allowing the Aces first three runs.

With a strong pitcher on the mound, if Garnet got the bats swinging, they could get right back in this game, and to the people watching at home (or gamechanger) they did.

In the bottom of the sixth Garnet decided to make this one interesting, (very interesting).

After a series of walks, Garnet had guys on first and second, and with a double by Nolan Carroll, and suddenly this one was 3-3. But not for long, Cole Lombardo would single, bringing home Carroll, and this game was 4-3 Garnet in the bottom of the sixth.

With one last chance to take this in the top of the seventh, the Aces didn’t hesitate.

Charlie Parsons would wrap up a productive day with double, and with a bunt by Matt Hartstein, would advance to third base, reaching home after a clutch single by Ryan Scholz tying the game at 4-4.

Scholz would steal second and reach third after a single by Gus Wright, and finally, after a fly out by Brody Slensky, Scholz would get the last word and score home after tagging up.

Despite just scoring the game winning run, Scholz still went out on the mound to close for the Aces sending Garnet down in order.

For the Aces this one was a lot more stressful than cruising with a 3-0 deficit going into the sixth inning, but there’s something more satisfying about having to battle back. (let’s just save the late game comeback for when its above 70 degrees please. )

Either way, the Aces will improve to 4-1 on the season in the Central League and will be back at home next Monday at 3:45 against Marple Newtown (3-2).

Garnet Valley (3-2 in CL) will be back at it on Friday at Malvern Prep for an out of conference game at 4:00 at the Friars’ gorgeous new turf stadium.

DREXEL HILL, PA- Lower Merion had one goal today, and that was to win on the road at Upper Darby. And let’s just say, they probably scored enough runs in this one to beat them twice.

The Aces took control early, with a strong first inning that saw Brendan O’Gara triple to right field, scoring both Gus Wright and Brody Slensky, to give Lower Merion a 3-0 lead.

Upper Darby starting pitcher, Austin Campbell, however, would stop the Aces from driving in any more runs (at least for this inning).

Unfortunately for the Royals, it was just going to get worse from here.

The very next inning, Gus Wright doubled to center field, bringing in two more runs bringing the score to 5-0 in just the second inning. (uh oh.)

At this point, Campbell’s day was over with just two innings pitched, striking out three, but allowing five runs. To take over was Justin Butler.

The Royals scored their only run in the bottom of the third with a Justin Butler single making the score 5-1.

New pitcher, comeback time? The third inning was smooth for Butler besides for a leadoff triple by Calvin Rendle, but he would force the Aces to go down in order, leaving Rendle stranded at third.

But the fourth inning was let’s just say, not as kind to Butler. In an effort by the entire team, the Aces would come up with six runs by the time this inning came to a close. Ryan Scholz would get the first piece with a single as the result of an error, Gus Wright would be walked, and Brody Slensky would hit a single, and suddenly its bases loaded and no outs. (UH OH).

With the way this game was going, it was clear the damage wasn’t done. With a walk by O’Gara, this was game was 6-1.

But then there was Calvin Rendle. After being stranded after his first triple in third, Rendle was determined to knock the runs in once and for all. So uh, he did. With the bases loaded, Rendle hit another triple, bringing this one to a dominating 9-1.

But is it fair to leave the guy who went 2/3 with two triples stranded again? No. So, in came Charlie Parsons with a double bringing home Rendle and with an additional an error at home, Parsons crossed the plate, making the score 11-1.

This game would only go five innings due to the number of runs tacked on, but the Aces would tack on three more to finish off the game right. At this point, Upper Darby had a new pitcher in, but Lower Merion didn’t seem to notice, and kept pushing on. Brody Slensky would double to get it all started, once more and Roman would walk, leaving room for a single by Calvin Rendle to drive Slensky home after an error.

In the final punch by the Aces, Dragut singled on a hard ground ball scoring the final two runners leaving this game at a 14-1 finish.

Although not really talked about today with all the runs scored, Lower Merion pitching was incredibly consistent only allowing four hits on the day. Led by starter Will Cohen taking the Aces three innings, allowing UD’s only run, and striking out five. After three, Justin Heck pitched the fourth, allowing just two hits, and closer Ryan Scholz got the job done, helping the Aces improve to 3-1 on the season.

The Aces (3-1) will face Garnet Valley (2-1) away on Wednesday afternoon at 3:45 in what should be a highly competitive central league matchup.

The Royals (0-4) will face Conestoga (0-4) at home on Wednesday afternoon at 3:45 in a big game with both teams chasing their first win of the season.

BERWYN, PA- In Conestoga’s first home game of the season, they found themselves up early, but Ridley would have something to say and ultimately would slide away with a 4-2 win.

With Henry Fuerst on the mound for Conestoga, the top of the first would go quickly for the Green Raiders, going down in order to start the game.

But, Conestoga would come out swinging looking for some sort of spark in the bottom of the first.

At the very top of the lineup, James Quici hit a ground ball, and ended up at third base after a pair of errors in the field. (essentially a free gift to get the momentum started, as heard from the dugout, thank you).

With Quici at third, Chase Cherny would get his own piece of one hitting a single, however Quici was held up at third. But not for long. Starting pitcher for Ridley, Brendan Soper, would strike out Luke Hunter to get the first out of the inning, but Chase Rantanen would come in with a sac fly, scoring Quici, putting the Pioneers up 1-0.

Cooper Evers would then single on a line drive, putting runners on first and second. The Pioneers would benefit from another error in the field after Bakker reached first off of a ground ball, putting Conestoga up 2-0 (yay free stuff).

But, the free stuff was unfortunately one and done in this one. Ridley’s Soper would strikeout Soura, ultimately ending Conestoga’s scoring for the day.

Down 2-0, Ridley was determined to bounce back after yesterday’s loss to Lower Merion. It would take a while, but they would get there.

Pitching on both sides of the ball today was competitive with both starters pushing until late in the game. The second inning left just as quickly as it started with both teams going down in order.

The top of the third though was what the Green Raiders were waiting for. John Teehan got the rally started with a single, and then decided to steal second, and hey while he was at it, why not steal third. All this stealing would pay off though, after a single by Bobby Doherty, Teehan would score bringing Ridley to just a 2-1 deficit. After a strikeout, Ridley had one on two outs and a choice to make. Jake Mansfield would make this choice for them, hitting a single, scoring Doherty, and suddenly Ridley was right back in this game.

Soper took the Pioneers down in order in the bottom of the third, and Ridley got right back on the field.

Ridley was ready to start off the inning strong once again, but this time at the head was Luke Ladislaw. With a leadoff single and a sac bunt by Davis, Ridley would have Ladislaw on second with just one out. In the pattern we’re seeing here, someone probably hit a single. And Logan Bubb was thinking the same thing.

With a single, Ladislaw would score, putting Ridley up for the first time in this one. (The Ridley dugout was able to breathe again.) But just wait for this one, you won’t believe it. ANOTHER SINGLE! But this time by Shane Rentz, putting Ridley up to the final score of 4-2.

This game unfortunately had no more singles, but they did have excellent starting pitching. For Conestoga, Fuerst took them five innings, had three strikeouts, and allowed two runs.

For Ridley, they relied heavily on Brendan Soper who pitched 5.2 innings, striking out six, and allowed Conestoga’s two runs. Luke Ladislaw threw the final 1.1 innings to get the save.

While there was no more scoring after the fourth inning, it would be a lie to say this game was a breeze. At some point or another, both teams had the bases loaded with two outs and the urgency to add on, but ultimately in this one it was only 4-2.

Conestoga (0-3) will face Haverford (3-0) at home next Monday afternoon at home at 3:45 in a tough Central League matchup.

Ridley will move on to face Interboro (1-0 Del Val) away on Saturday at 11:00am.

GARNET VALLEY, PA — Garnet Valley took control early and never looked back, shutting out Conestoga for all seven innings. 

It was a whole lotta retiring of the first three hitters for both sides of the ball today, but ultimately the Jaguars would take advantage of the hitting opportunities and shut out the Pioneers. 

The Jaguars got their offense rolling in the bottom of the third inning. 

 After a double by Cole Lombardo, Chris Schaller was hit by a pitch, and Brady Thompson followed with a single. A fielding error allowed both Lombardo and Schaller to score, putting Garnet Valley up 2-0. 

The Pioneers starting pitcher, Luke Hunter, managed to record an out, but the Jaguars weren’t done yet. McGhee reached on another error, allowing Thompson to score and extend the lead to 3-0. 

At this point, Hunter’s day was finished, recording three innings pitched, three strikeouts, and allowing three runs. 

Coming into relieve was Max Brown who carried Conestoga the rest of the game, pitching three innings, striking out three, while allowing four runs to score. 

It was a quick game, not much hitting happening, but Garnet had one last spark of energy in the sixth. 

In the sixth, Kyle Klein reached base due to an error, followed by a single from Nolan Carroll that brought Klein home, making it 4-0. Cole Lombardo then singled, and Schaller added a double, sending both Carroll and Lombardo across the plate to increase Garnet Valley’s lead to 6-0. 

The final blow came in the seventh, Brady Thompson hit a double that scored Schaller, bringing the final score to 7-0. 

Strong hitting and pitching by starting pitcher Joe Anzalone, four innings pitched, with four strikeouts, no runs, carried this team to what will likely be an important Central League win down the road.

Garnet Valley (2-1) will face Ridley (2-1) away next Monday afternoon at 3:45.

Conestoga (0-3) will have a big game tomorrow at home against Ridley (2-1) at 3:45 as a makeup for Monday.

RADNOR, PA- By the time the fourth inning came around in this one, just about everyone got their shot on the field. 

But let’s just say, the game wasn’t always as stress free as the final score may entail.

In the top of the first, Radnor’s ace Austin Havertine started strong, striking out the leadoff batter. But Harriton looking for a spark quick, would have an answer and immediately come out swinging.

Fueled by a double by Bryce Seigel and a Nate Swalley walk, the Rams were threatening. Sam Bohnenkamp would take this fuel and put Harriton on the board, 1-0, with a single. Havertine would strike out the next batter, but found trouble when an error resulted in Hudson Weissman reaching first, scoring Swalley. The Rams now found themselves up 2-0.

Havertine would get Radnor out of the inning with the last out, but Radnor knew they had a job to do.

The Raptors went down in order to Harriton’s Hudson Weissman in the bottom of the first, but Austin Havertine would take the Rams in order in the top of the second. (let’s call it even.)

The bottom of the second is when the comeback got going for the Raptors offense. After a leadoff walk by Zach Fein, Daniel Kellis came in to get his own piece of one with a hard-hit single. Then came Radnor’s player of the game, Will Selbach. With a single, Selbach brought in Hayden Goldenberg (pinch runner for Fein) and Daniel Kellis, evening the score at 2-2.

Just one play after, Joseph Krasowski would hit a triple scoring Will Selbach and Teddy Monahan, putting Radnor ahead for the first time in this one, 4-2.

At this point Harriton’s Weissman’s day was over after 1.2 innings, after striking out two, and allowing four runs.

Havertine would take care of the Rams once again in the top of third, ending his day with three innings pitched, seven strikeouts, and two runs allowed. (Let’s just say, they wouldn’t need him to come back into this one after the job done in the third inning.)

Don’t call it a comeback…but absolutely call it a comeback. Call it a ten-run third inning comeback.

Matt Szychulski got it started with a single and the Raptors didn’t look back. After his single, Evan Hartman walked, setting up Zach Fein with an opportunity to bunt, loading the bases. After a walk by Daniel Kellis, the Raptors forced the first run home making the score 5-2, but it wouldn’t be the end of the rally.

Harriton pitcher Cole Feldman’s day was over at this point, bringing in Ryan Slone to deal with this sparked Raptors offense.

Kyle Miltenberger showed him just how sparked this offense was, on the first pitch, Miltenberger doubled on a line drive, scoring Evan Hartman and Hayden Goldenberg. With Kellis still on third and Miltenberger at second, Austin Havertine walked, loading the bases once again.

It’s like the past kept repeating itself, with another walk of Selbach with the bases loaded, Kellis would be the eighth run to score on the day for the Raptors.

But why have eight runs when you can have ten?

It’s rumored that’s what Teddy Monahan was thinking at the plate when he doubled, scoring Kyle Miltenberger and John Belveal (pinch runner for Havertine) putting the Raptors up 10-2.

With the addition of the Raptors four runs, Ryan Slones day was over, bringing in Gaven Bowman.

Bowman would get the first out of the inning, but after a walk by Matt Szychulski the Raptors would load the bases once again, and Evan Hartman would reach on an error, scoring Will Selbach and Teddy Monahan.

The scoring updates are almost complete I promise.

Up 12-2, Zach Fein would hit his second single of the day, scoring Szychulski.

Bowman’s day would be over after attaining the second out of the inning. Bringing in Myles Freed, who would take the Rams to the end.

In the final scoring play of the day for the Raptors (finally), Blake Havertine (pinch runner for Austin Havertine) would get hit by a pitch, scoring Evan Hartman putting Radnor up 14-2.

Blake Havertine would throw the fourth, putting the Rams down in order.

The Rams would get one last hoorah in the top of the fifth after a single by Calvin Costello and a pair of errors by Swalley and Siegel loaded the bases. Kwait would hit the ground ball scoring the last run of the game, marking the final score of 14-3.

Matthew Zaslow would close out the game for the Raptors with one inning pitched, one strikeout, and one run allowed.

Will Selbach led the team with 3 RBI, and 2 runs, earning him player of the game for Radnor.

Radnor (3-0) will take the momentum of this one into Florida for their spring-break games, but will be back to Central League competition April 7th away at Haverford (3-0) for an early showdown of two of the best teams the Central League has to offer at 3:45.

Harriton (1-3) will face Marple Newtown away next Monday afternoon at 4:00.
