Molina’s eighth-inning single helps South baseball win thriller
Marc Molina ripped a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the eighth inning and Kamdyn Bubb stifled Hanover in the bottom half as South Williamsport won a 2-1 thriller against Hanover. Bubb and starter Andrew Walter both pitched four strong innings, walking none and repeatedly working out of jams. Bubb fanned four in four innings and Walter threw four scoreless innings. Molina also produced a first-inning RBI with a sacrifice fly and was one of nine Mounties who combined for 11 hits. Bubb and Jaymes Carpenter collected two each.
Graden Dohl smashed a two-run home run and Kynton Fish and Brody Goss each had two hits in Muncy’s 15-5, six-inning loss against Bloomsburg. Corbyn Gardner added a double. Bloomsburg started the game with 10 runs in the top of the first inning before Muncy scored four times in the bottom half.
Ayren Morgan, Hunter Simonds and Levi Stahli combined on a three-hitter and Cowanesque Valley remained undefeated, downing North Penn-Mansfield, 4-1. Morgan became the sixth different pitcher to earn a win for the Indians (6-0) and also was 2 for 2 with two runs. Hess and William Kies drove in runs and Danny Smith doubled. Three players had hits for North Penn-Mansfield.
