Littlestown, which outhit the defending SPL champs 12-10, got three hits each from Justin Keith and Tanner Kohler in the loss.
Hanover got clutch hits from multiple players to defeat the Twins 4-1. Jon Karlheim threw five innings to get the win and Clint Roche held the Twins at bay with two innings of shutout relief. Jeff Deveney's RBI single in the bottom of the first gave the Twins an early lead. Conrad Miller was perfect through three innings, but the Raiders solved the righty in their second trip through the lineup. Mark Phillips blasted a triple to tie the game in the fourth, and Adam Smith's booming double put the Raiders on top in the fifth. Pat Brady and A.J. Phillips added insurance runs with RBI hits.
