Hopewell Upsets Erie Cathedral Prep 4-2 They Move On To Semi Finals!!!

The Hopewell Vikings did what they were not expected to do as they give the Erie Prep Cathedral a record 22and 1 instead of a future in the High School Playoffs. Landin fox took the mound and had a solid game even picking off Erie’s first base runner at first base but Erie ends up scoring a run, he kept them in check after that not allowing any more runs until the bottom of the 5th inning. Hopewell had some good  hitting after  Slate  drove a ball to the fence and then they get a walk and Fox comes  up to help his cause with a hit up the middle to drive in a run and Lucas Walton hits a 2 run single to give Hopewell a 3-1 lead. Landin fox pitched to the middle of the 7th when the pitch count caught up to him and they had to bring in David Medich who faced the meat of the order and through nothing but junk at them with a change up and 8 curve balls to strike out the next two batters to close the game.

Connor Joe Homers Against Former Team As Pirates Beat San Francisco 2-1

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Connor Joe homered against his former team and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat San Francisco 2-1 on Tuesday night to snap a five-game losing streak against the Giants.

The Pirates moved back to .500 (27-27) after falling under for the first time since they were 1-2. Pittsburgh has gone 7-19 after starting the season 20-8.

Joe, who played for San Francisco in 2019, homered off John Brebbia in the first inning.

“It feels good doing that against any team, honestly,” Joe said. “No bad blood. I’m grateful (for) the opportunity they gave me to debut.”

Michael Conforto tied the game with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning.

Pittsburgh scored the go-ahead run in the fifth, aided by a Giants error. With Rodolfo Castro on first and one out, Jason Delay singled to left. The ball bounced past left fielder Mitch Haniger, allowing Castro to advance to third and Delay to second.

Sean Manaea delivered a wild pitch, allowing Castro to score.

“Rudy did a good job getting a break on a ball that he saw down and did a good job base-running,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “We didn’t have a ton of opportunities and we capitalized on a ball in the dirt.”

Josh Palacios followed with a ground ball to first, but Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. threw Delay out at the plate. The call was challenged and confirmed upon review.

Manaea (2-3) allowed just an unearned run in four innings of relief.

Pirates starter Johan Oviedo struggled with his command but held the Giants to one run in 4 1/3 innings. He walked five and struck out five.

“He executed pitches when he had to,” Shelton said. “When he put runners on base, he did a good job executing.”

Dauri Moreta (2-1) relieved Oviedo in the fifth and was credited with the win following a scoreless inning.

David Bednar retired the side in order in the ninth with two strikeouts for his 10th save in 11 chances.

San Francisco went 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position after going 9 for 18 in Monday’s win. The Giants left nine runners on base.

“There are going to be nights when we’re not able to cash in on those (opportunities),” San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler said. “I thought we had a good, quality first inning, had a couple of moments where we were threatening. We just weren’t able to get the big hit.”

Aliquippa falls short of the gold but take silver for second straight year they lose 60 to 44!!

The Aliquippa boys basketball team played for the Piaa 2A state championship against Lancaster  mennonite and played better than the final score would indicate, Lancaster’s 6 foot 7 inch big man David Weaver scores first and quips DJ Walker tied it up at 2. Aliquippa found their selves down early 8 to 2 called timeout to talk about it. D.J. Walker the only Quip to score so far getting shots blocked turning it over and had the big David Weaver hitting 3 pointers yes  the kind of night it was for Aliquippa, the Quips did show that they were in the game to the very end when they had to fowl and hope for the best. Tiki Hayes gets a rebound and is fowled he goes to the line and makes one the score is 13 to 9 the Quips coming back then D.J Walker took a pass from Quinton Goode and makes a layup to start the second quarter then Cam Lyndsey gets a layup for his first points of the game to get the Quips within 4 17to 13. then the Quips were trailing 20 to 15 and Cam Lyndsey gets a bucket to make 23 to 19 Quinton Goode hits his first 3 to make it 25 to 22 and that’s the half not bad all and all. To start the third D. J. Walker puts some moves on going right then left and he scores 25 to 24 Quips then D.J. Walker kicks the ball out to Tiki Hayes he scores and gets Quips first lead of the game28 to 27. that’s about all the closer it would be their sharp shooting  Camden Hurst went and hit a 3 to get the only lead back that Aliquippa would have Aliquippa tried everything in their bag of tricks that has worked before but sometimes its just your night and the other team just cant miss but silver 2 years in a row is not bad at all that’s why they play the games.
