Pirates Top Twins in Bottom of Seventh

Chris Schachle's infield single scored J.C. Collins from third with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, giving Cashtown a 3-2 win over New Oxford Tuesday night at Cashtown. Collins opened the frame with a hit by pitch, advanced to third on a sac bunt and groundout, and scored when Schachle's grounder up the third base line couldn't be handled. The rally made a winner of D.J. Cool, who tossed a complete game and allowed just four hits.  His only mistake was a 2-run homer by Dan Shafer that knotted the game at 2-2 in the top of the fifth. Cashtown leads the series 1-0 and will head to New Oxford for game two on Thursday.

Hanover notched its third consecutive shutout, using a complete game three-hitter from Andrew Burke to down Littlestown 3-0 in their series opener. Mark Phillips' 2-run single in the third was all the offense the Raiders would need, and Bob Taylor's fifth inning RBI single provided additional insurance for Burke, who avenged his only loss of the regular season. Game two will be Thursday at Littlestown.
