Phillips, Deatrick Lead Hanover Past Panthers

In Sunday's only remaining SPL opening round playoff contest, the Hanover Raiders defeated North Carroll 7-2 at Diller Field. Mark Phillips drove in five runs on three hits that included a solo home run, and Beau Deatrick threw a complete-game 3-hitter to push the Raiders into the SPL playoffs second round.

Hanover will take on New Oxford in a best-of-five series beginning Tuesday at New Oxford High School.  Biglerville will travel to Cashtown in the other SPL semi-final Tuesday.
