Gutsy effort from Manheim Central Girls, who were missing 2 key starters against Lancaster Catholic… including the L-L’s leading scorer Maddie Knier! Crusaders got the win 42-32, but credit the Lady Barons, who pushed Catholic to the limit for 3 quarters! Here are the highlights...

Hagerstown mounted a 9th inning comeback against Lancaster & won it 9-8 in 10 innings to avoid a sweep by the Stormers! Lancaster had taken the lead in the 8th inning by scoring 4 runs, sparked by a 2 RBI double by Isan Diaz & a 2 run homer by Mason Martin!
