Panthers Down Warriors in 9 Innings
The Saucon Valley Panthers (6-12) defeated the Wilson Warriors (6-10) on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Saucon Valley dealt Wilson's chances to make it to the post-season a blow when Ryan Kern singled on the first pitch to drive in the winning run with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The winning rally began as Joe Schuyler beat out a slow roller to second. Gabe Sinko's bunt was fielded by Wilson pitcher Nick Smith, but his throw to second could not be handled, putting runners on first and second. As Stephen Gahman prepared to bunt the runners to second and third, a wild pitch did the job. Gahman was hit by a pitch to load the bases, setting the stage for Kern's game-winning hit. Lefty Matt Laub picked up the 5-4 win.
The Panthers are now 6-12, while the Warriors are 6-10.
