East Pennsboro 7, Bermudian Springs 6
Lucas Martz produced a two-run single to cap the Panthers’ decisive rally in the sixth inning of Thursday’s District 3 Class 4A semfinal game in York Springs. East Penn erupted for five runs in the frame to stop the top-seeded Eagles and move into next Tuesday’s title game, where they will face No. 6 Hanover. The Nighthawks staged a rally of their own to edge Northern Lebanon, 6-5, in Thursday’s other semifinal.
While the Eagles (16-5) won’t play for district gold, they have another crack at qualifying for the state playoffs on Tuesday when they host Northern Lebanon (16-7) in a third-place game at 4:30.
Austin Reinert triggered a big second inning for the hosts by belting a double. Brayden Heller came in to run for Reinert, and later scored on a Dylan Hubbard double. Lucas Zepp, who had reached on an error, crossed the plate ahead of Hubbard on Gabe Kline’s two-run single.
Lane Hubbard capped the frame with an RBI knock chase home Kline.
Berm added singles tallies in the fourth and sixth, thanks to run-scoring hits by Nathan Keller and Ben Ogle.
East Penn’s comeback included four singles, three walks and a hit batter all in the sixth inning.
