On a windy Saturday afternoon, the lions of Penn State Beaver took the field
ready to face off against conference foe Mont Alto.
"This is a huge game for us, said team captain Rob Thrlin". "This is a huge game heading into playoffs".
With both teams competing for top seeds, this was sure to be a good one.
Beaver came out focused and ready to go. Jake Debo controlled the mound with
speed and efficiency throwing 2 strikeouts in his first three attempts.
Tyler Thellman and Matt Capo contributed the first runs for Beaver, scoring
both in the bottom of the 2nd. Beaver gained a 2-0 lead and looked as if they
were going to control the game throughout.
However, due to a beaver cold streak, Mont Alto was able to recover and gain momentum scoring 3 unanswered runs.
Mont alto cut the deficit and eventually finished the 1st game winning
3-2.
Unlike the first game, Mont alto controlled the game from the beginning. In the top of the second they scored 7 runs giving them a commanding the lead and momentum.
But as always, Beaver battled!
Rob Thrlin was a keyfactor in the comeback for Beaver. With his amazing speed, he scored a run off of a Jordan Price double to mid field. This created a spark from the home team as the bench and crowd began to get excited.
Despite their efforts in the4th and 5th inning, it still wasn't enough to mount a come back performance. Mont alto continued to score eventually winning the game 12-5.
Beaver finished the double header 0-2, but will have a chance to avenge themselves
tomorrow against Penn State York.
