Delaware hands Pa. Little League champs Hollidaysburg first regional loss
Delaware’s Naamans Little League used a three-run sixth inning Tuesday to topple Pa. champion Hollidaysburg 5-4 through the Mid-Atlantic Regional event at Bristol, CT.
An Alex Dively two-run double within the backside of the sixth did pull Hollidaysburg inside a run. Nevertheless, Namaans pitcher Josh Stiebel responded by retiring Ty McGough on a pop-up to proper, and getting Braden Hatch on strikes, to finish it.
Paeter Hudson’s three-run homer in that frantic sixth pushed Namaans (2-0) into Friday’s championship spherical, the place it awaits the winner of Thursday’s elimination sport between Hollidaysburg (1-1) and Washington D.C. (1-1).
Thursday’s sport time is 1 p.m.
Nathan Phillips went 2-for-2 with a run scored for Hollidaysburg. Teammates Chase Hyperlink tagged a solo house run and Caleb Detrick added a single RBI.
Reliever Aspen Anderson, who shouldered the loss, struck out 12 over 5 1/3 innings. He allowed 5 hits and three runs, none earned.
