This next week will go a long way in determining who will earn the top spot in Cecil County this season. Elkton, Harford Tech, C. Milton Wright, and Fallston all have opportunities as we reach the latter stages. Elkton has won 5 straight games to find themselves at 9-3. The Golden Elks lost to Harford Tech 6-5 in April. The two teams will rematch on Friday and the winner will take sole possession of first place. Fallston and C. Milton Wright play a double-header on the 29th to make up an earlier postponed game. Depending on the results of the Elkton and Harford Tech game, the end of this slew of games can result in a variety of ties. Stay in the Zone to see who ends up in first place!

Travis Loewe pitched well. A few hits to lead off the fifth followed by a few weeks and a big single by McDowell gave Rising Sun a 2-0 Lead. An error helped extended it to 4-0.

THE SCORE OF THIS GAME WAS 11-7

The score for this game was Bel Air 12 to Perryville 7

A very solid high school baseball game by both teams. A few big situational moments offensively and defensively was the difference. Caleb Daniele drew a one out walk in the third, A HBP and a single got him to third. Pinch Runner Zach Concini tagged and scored on Hemelts sac fly to go up 1-0. A lead off single in the bottom of the fourth for polarki turned into a big out as he tried to stretch into a double but Jonah Vujanic threw him out at second. The next hitter hit a double that would have scored him. Shertzer ead off with a singe in the fifth and sole second, Vujanic sacrificed him to third and he eventually scored on a wild pitch. Later in the inning, Hemelt scored on a double steal attempt that caused a balk to make it 3-0. M Williams lead off the 7th with a double but Hemet was able to retire the next three. It was a great effort by Mike today who came back after starting a few innings for us on Saturday. Happy for this young group who set a goal to win this game when the season started. We are excited to set new goals moving forward. countysports.zone/scores/view/KGd8T9nF8KnIQDN64bu7B

Coming in relief of Nickle was Junior James Able who allowed one run and finishing the game was Senior Drake Gividen.
