The South Penn League season got underway Saturday with Hagerstown and Hanover splitting a doubleheader at Diller Field.
In game one, league newcomer Hagerstown posted 5 runs in the top of the first to take an early lead and coasted to an 11-1 win in 5 innings. Austin Bulman went 3-for-3 and Tyler Erbin drove in three to lead the Braves. Zach Rudisill was 3-for-3 for the Raiders. Dylan Reid tossed three frames of 1-run ball to notch the win.
The Braves appeared on their way to the sweep, but Hanover staged an epic rally by scoring 5 runs in the top of the seventh to grab the lead and hung on for a 5-4 win. AJ Baadte got the win in relief for Hanover. Rudisill banged a 3-run triple during the pivotal rally. Hagerstown outhit Hanover 10-4 in the contest but left 14 men on base.
The SPL's opening weekend continues on Sunday with 4 matchups, including a doubleheader between North Carroll and the league's other newest member, Shippensburg.
After a spring full of uncertainty, the South Penn League will be starting its 2020 season on Saturday, June 20. Two new teams - the Hagerstown Braves and Shippensburg Stars - join last years teams to form a 10-team league this season. Hagerstown will visit Hanover for a 1:00 pm doubleheader to kick off this year's season.
The league opted for an 18-game regular season which will conclude with games on July 30. A yet-to-be-decided playoff format will kick of the following week. Each team will play the other twice during the year, some as home-and-away single games, and others as a one-time doubleheader. In order to avoid excessive travel, as well as accomodate some teams that do not have home fields available this summer, teams have agreed to a slightly unbalanced home and away split. But the main goal was to try as best we can to get back to baseball again!
Updates on the league website will continue for the next few days....please be patient. But once ready, we invite you to check out this website for the latest schedule, results, and standings!
