After just having defeated Greater Allegheny, the DuBois baseball team would have to transition right away to Mont Alto in the next round of games in the PSUAC playoffs. There has not been a lack of excitement in any of the contests between these two teams as of yet this year, and apparently it wasn't going to change today.
Morgan Bell got the start from the mound for DuBois, and even though Mont Alto would score first in the 1st inning Bell would keep them guessing from the plate. DuBois would score a run in the 2nd inning as Cory Lehman would single to left center that would score Zane Morgan to tie the game, 1-1.
Again in the 5th Lehman would hit a single to left that would bring Morgan in yet again to make it 2-1. The top of the 5th Talon Falls would single to score Toner Corl, and DuBois would take the 3-1 lead. Bell would come out after 4 and 1/3 innings, and Trevor Hanna would step on the mound with 2 men on base. Mont Alto would single to right center to score both baserunners and tie the game, 3-3.
The crowd seemed to hold their breath with every pitch thrown in the next 2 innings. Finally something had to give, and Mont Alto would get 2 men on base. A single to the outfield would score the walk off run in the bottom of the 7th inning to win the game.
Corl and Lehman would both go 2 for 3 for the game from the plate. Bell had 2 strike outs, and allowed only 3 hits. Hanna pitched 2 and 1/3 innings, giving up only 1 run.
DuBois will come back home to the as the host site for the PSUAC semifinals next Sunday to take on Penn State Schuylkill at 11:00 am at Showers Field.
