WHAT A WILD WALKOFF WIN!
Trailing 6-3 in the bottom of the 9th… Lancaster “stormed-back” with 4 runs to walk it off against Staten Island… 7-6! The comeback seemed unlikely after the Stormers trailed 5-0 early & then 6-3 in the 9th… but Lancaster’s next 6 batters reached based, including Joseph Carpenter’s RBI fielder’s choice that scored Shawon Dunston Jr. with the GAME-WINNING RUN!
Ephrata dropped a 9-6 non-league matchup against the #4 ranked team in 6A District 3… Cumberland Valley! Mounts took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning after Landry Weidner crushed a 2 run homer to left! But the Eagles went on an 8-1 run after that and staved off a late-inning, bases loaded rally to beat the Mounts!
-- District 3 baseball playoffs will begin on Friday, May 16!
The Ephrata Mounts, your back to back Section 2 Champs and reigning 2023 L-L League Champ, advanced to the next round after a 7-1 Win over Lancaster Catholic in the League Quarterfinals!
