Warren Boys Majors ousted; Minors back in action today
Brockway eliminated Warren’s Boys Majors All-Stars, 7-6, on Thursday in the Little League District 10 11-and-12-year-old tournament at Betts-Jackson Field.
Due to rain on Wednesday, the Warren field hosted a doubleheader on Thursday with the Warren Girls minors first followed by the Boys Majors’ night game between Brockway and Warren.
The excitement ended with Brock Yale’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Yale also helped send the game to extra innings in Brockway’s three-run bottom of the fifth to tie the game at 6-6.
Brockway won the coin toss and the last at bats proved to be the difference.
Warren trailed 3-1 after three innings before Lauson Hoisington led off the top of the fourth with a base hit and later scored to cut the deficit to 3-2.
Lang, Degan Peterson, Jack Abplanalp, Keegan Weissinger, and Matt Shippee had hits in Warren’s four-run top of the fifth to take a 6-3 lead. Weissinger’s two-run triple put Warren up with two outs and Shippee added a two-out RBI single.
Brockway scored three runs in the bottom half of the fifth on one hit, three walks and two Warren errors.
Yale’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh followed teammate Cole Decker’s leadoff double.
