Penn State York came to town last night to take on DuBois in a single, 9-inning game at Showers Field. Coach Calliari gave Blaise Roush (Mifflin) the nod to start on the hill for DuBois. Calliari would use 7 pitchers in this extra inning game, but was worth it in the end as DuBois pulled off the victory in 10.
Toner Corl (Central Mountain) would get on base with a walk in the bottom of the 1st inning, and continue his way around the bases with 3 steals to get the first run of the game for DuBois. That wouldn't be it for Corl though as he came into the game with 99 career hits, looking for number 100. In the bottom of the 5th inning Corl stepped up to the plate and smashed a double to left center field for hit number 100.
Joey Dipietro (Punxsutawney) would then hit a single that would score Corl, and advance Talon Falls (Central Mountain) who his own 100 career hit mark last week, to third. Trevor Hanna (Central Mountain) would drive in Falls and Dipietro to put DuBois up at the end of the 5th, 4-0.
York would score one run in the top of the 6th, and DuBois would counter that with a run of their own in the bottom of the 7th off of another Hanna single that would score Brandon Sicheri (St. Marys).
York would then slowly chip away at the lead with a big 3 run inning in the 8th, and 1 run each in the 9th and 10th that would put them in the lead, 6-5.
The bottom of the 10th though would give DuBois another chance to take the win away from York. Thayne Morgan (Clearfield) would draw the walk and steal second to start the inning. Corl would fly out to center field for the first out, and Falls would then be intentionally walked. A huge hustle play by pinch hitter Tanner Labenne (Brookville) would get him on safe at first, and advance both of the runners to scoring positions. A fielder's choice by Sicheri would have Morgan thrown out at home, but still advance runners to keep two in scoring position.
Then came Hanna to the plate with 2 outs, and in true fashion Hanna laced a single between the shortstop and third baseman that would score both needed runs that won the game, 7-6.
Hanna would end the day from the plate going 3 for 3, drawing 1 walk, and hitting 5 RBI's. Corl had 2 doubles on the night, including 3 stolen bases. Freshman Brett Beith (Lakeview) not only had a huge triple on the night, but also was the winning pitcher for the game.
DuBois will travel to Wild Things Park today to take on PSU Fayette.
