DUBOIS — For the second time this season, the Bradford baseball team’s early lead slipped away, this time coming with an eight-inning 3-2 loss to DuBois.

Through the first three frames, neither team could find anything to build off of. Each, at best, could send four batters to the plate before the third out. That changed, however, when the Owls would get on the scoreboard first with a bases-loaded walk and a sacrifice-fly from Talan Reese, scoring Matthew Perry. The Beavers would retaliate with one of their own in the bottom of the fourth before tying the game in the seventh off an Owl error.

Going into extra innings, Bradford couldn’t muster any more momentum, instead witnessing DuBois load the bases and steal the victory with a walk-off RBI single.

Bradford’s Liam Haven went 2-for-3 at the plate, scoring once.

CLARION — The Crusaders came close but just couldn’t surpass the defending Class A state champion Bobcats.

While ECC was struggling to get past Clarion’s ace, Tanner Miller, who ended with seven strikeouts in three innings on the mound, the Bobcats got to work. The Bobcat’s first five batters all found hits as they managed to pour in three runs, starting a five run first that would snowball into seven runs in three innings.

ECC’s biggest push came in the fifth. With the bases loaded, three consecutive Bobcat errors allowed four Crusaders to round home plate.

Matthew Gilmore led ECC in the batter’s box, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and one more batted in. Frankie Smith went 2-for-4 as well with two runs.
