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 Mounts picked up their 10th win of the season & equaled their highest offensive output of the year so far, knocking off Daniel Boone 67-44!

-- Senior Dylan Kohl was unconscious from 3pt range to start the game... 5-6 at the half... ended with 20 points!
