In the 2nd round of the PSUAC Championship Tournament, DuBois would take on the #2 seed in the East, Schuylkill. Brandon Orsich would get the start for DuBois from the mound.
Schuylkill would strike first in the top of the 1st with a run scoring, and another 2 in the 2nd inning to go up, 3-0 on DuBois. DuBois bats were hitting, but unfortunately right at the spots where the opposition was located.
Finally in the 3rd inning DuBois saw some life. Talon Falls hit a home run over the left center field wall to give DuBois their first run of the game. The top of the 5th would see Schuylkill score another run, and Coach Calliari would bring Morgan Bell in relief for Orsich to finish the inning.
Then in the bottom of the 5th, DuBois rally came alive. Cory Lehman started it off with a single, and Joseph Dipietro added a single before Daniel Stauffer would walk to load the bases. With 2 outs Trevor Hanna would also draw a walk to score the 1st run. Two more walks from Logan Wagner and Thayne Morgan would score 2 more runs before Luke Salvo would reach on an error that would score 2 more runs. PSUAC RBI leader Toner Corl would single to bring 2 more runs across the plate. Falls would get another RBI from a single that scored Corl, and Stauffer would reach on an error that would score Lehman after he singled again.
DuBois would score 10 runs in the inning to take the commanding lead, 11-4.
Braden Blair would come in to finish the game off for Bell in the 6th and 7th innings.
The 6th started off with a Zane Morgan walk, and after he stole second, Corl would smash a double to drive him in. Lehman would hit another double to score Corl, and Dipietro would single to again score Lehman for another 3 runs in the inning.
DuBois would go on to win the game 14-4, and advance to the semifinals tomorrow to face the loser of the Mont Alto vs Brandywine game. DuBois will play that game tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
Orsich would struggle a little from the mound today as he would go 4 and 1/3rd innings, giving up 8 hits, but also striking out 6 batters. Orsich would hit his 100th career strikeout in the process.
Blair and Bell totaled 2 and 2/3rd innings, with Blair striking out 3, and allowing no runs between them.
Lehman had a great day at the plate, going 5 for 5 with a double and 3 runs scored. Corl would knock in 3 runs, and Falls, Stauffer, and Salvo would each have 2 RBI's.
