    Canal Post 25 Shuts out Harrison Post 14

    By Bill alexander 06/19/2018, 10:15pm EDT

    Hines and Bond combine on a 3 hit shutout

    After two scoreless innings among both teams, Post 25 put up two runs in the 3rd inning, then another one in the 6th inning.  These would be the only runs among both teams, in a defensive dual highlighted by 7 shutout innings pitched by Post 25’s combo of Jonathan Hines and Ryan Bond.

    Post 14 loaded the bases twice, but did not convert any runs.  Their offense was led by a deep double to center field off the bat of Rigby in the top of the 5th, but Post 25’s defense held him from scoring.

    Patriot's Big Inning Dooms Canal Post 25

    By rsl 07/10/2018, 10:15pm EDT

    It was a Pitcher's Duel except in the 6th

    Tonight's game started out as a pitcher's duel between Nanticoke Post 6 Patriots, Dylan Layton, and Canal Post 25's Jarrett Weglarz. Good pitching and outstanding fielding play from both teams had the score tied 0-0 after 3, with only one hit between the two teams.

    The Patriots got on the board first, as Justin Gray doubled in Mitch Moyer in the top of the 4th. Weglarz struggled a bit, giving up 3 walks before he finally struck out Jake Rogers with the bases loaded to end the inning, with the Patriots up 1-0.

    Canal threatened in the bottom of the 4th, after 2 singles put runners on the bases, but two fly balls ended that threat. They then turned a double play to end the top of the 5th leaving the score still 1-0, Patriots.

    The Patriots bats came alive in the 6th, as Moyer and Gray both singled and scored on Evan Niblett's double to left. Niblett scored on Dylan Niblett's RBI single, and with one out, scored on Jake Rogers double to left. The inning ended with the Patriots up 5-0.

    Canal came back with a run in the 6th, as Jarrett Weglarz drove in his brother John, but Canal left 2 men stranded after a long fly ball out to right. In the 7th, Ryan Bond led off with a single, and scored on a Sacrifice Fly by John Weglarz.

    Tyler Heder got the win in relief of starter Dylan Layton (4 Innings). Layton allowed only 2 hits, and 3 walks with 2 strikeouts. Heder allowed one run on one hit, had 2 strikeouts and a walk. Noah Covington pitched the last inning for the Patriots allowing 1 run on 1 hit and another walk. For Canal, Jarrett Weglarz took the loss, allowing 5 runs on 8 hits, with 6 strikeouts. Jarrett Wallace pitched the last inning, holding the Patriots hitless.

    The Patriot win puts them firmly in 5th place in the seedings. Canal maintained their commanding lead in the South and their #2 Seed in the tournament, pending the results of games this week.

    Delaware Post 1 Takes Two Close Games From Milford Post 3

    By Brent Treml/Wayne Hurd 07/09/2017, 10:30pm EDT

    It Looked Like huge mismatch based on the records of the two teams

    In what would appear to have been a huge mismatch based on the records of the two teams, DE Post 1 traveled south to Woodbridge HS to take on Post 3 on Sunday, July 9th in a DH.  As they say, though, its why you play the games.

    Game 1:
    After falling behind 5-1 in the 2nd inning, Post 1 scored 5 runs over the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings to take a 1 run lead.  Milford tied it in the bottom of the 7th to force extra innings.  Luke Wilhelm knocked in Sean Gilardi to give Post 1 the lead in the top of the 9th.  Mike Serafin had 3 hits and an RBI for Post 1.  Brian and Sean Gilardi each had doubles, singles, and an RBI a piece.  Brian Gilardi picked up the win in relief and Oliver Campbell earned the 3 outs save.  Sam Erving and Holden Bailey each had 2 hits for Milford.

    Post 1: #6 Gilardi, Wilhelm, Coutillo, #21 Gilardi each had 2 hits apiece.  Michael Serafin led the way with 3 hits for Post 1.  Gilardi and Gifford also doubled. 
    For Post 3, Sam Ervin lead the way with 2 hits including a double.  Dorin Emerick also doubled.
    Pitch Counts:
    Post 1 - #12 - 73pitches; Ludman - 16pitches; Gilardi - 37 pitches; #Campbell- 9 pitches
    Post 3 - Bullock - 102 pitches
     
    Game 2:
    In the top of the 7th, Sean Gilardi beat out a 2 out infield single to keep the game alive, and then Michael Cautillo knocked in Mike Serafin to tie the game for Post 1 and force extra innings.  Post 1 exploded for 6 runs in the top of the 8th inning to put Milford away. Mike Serafin had 3 hits, including a 2 run homer during a 5 RBI day.  Brian Gilardi also had 3 hits, while Luke Wilhelm, Oliver Campbell, and Michael Cautillo each had 2 hits. Sam Erving and Holden Bailey each doubled for Milford.
