Montoursville 10, Loyalsock 3 FINAL

Montoursville seventh: Null strikes out. Cole strikes out. Ranck singles down right-field line. Ranck to third and Clark reaches first on E-6. Albert walks. Young strikes out.

Montoursville 103 204 0--10 11 3 Loyalsock 300 000 0--3 3 2 Christian Clark, Travis Singer (6) and Tyler Albert. Zack Clark, J.P. Pawlikowski (4), Ethan Moore (6) and Spencer Underdown. W--Clark, (3-0). L--Z. Clark, (1-1).

Notes: Barring a remarkable Loyalsock comeback, the final will be a showdown of champions. Williamsport captured the 2009 Backyard Brawl championship while Montoursville won it last year. Williamsport defeated Montoursville, 5-1 in the 2009 final. The winner of that upcoming game if it happens will be the area's No. 1-ranked team.

It will likely be Kyle Schneider of Williamsport vs. Pierce Ranck of Montoursville in the final. Should be a great run. Again, though, with a first-pitch scheduled for near 5:45 I think there is no way a seven-inning game will be completed. If they get five innings in the leader at that point will be crowned champion. Heard it here first.
