Mounts Winners in Section 2
- 09 May 2023
The final out of the Lancaster- Lebanon League baseball regular season and the final piece of the league’s playoff puzzle were delivered by Ephrata and its freshman pitcher Camryn Simes on Monday.
Simes threw a two-hit shutout as the Mounts edged Elizabethtown 1-0 to lock up the L-L Section Two title under the lights at War Memorial Field.
The Bears (13-7 overall, 9-6 in the section) had reeled off seven straight late-season wins to make Section Two a three-team pennant race, but are out of the league playoffs with the loss, coupled with section runner-up Lampeter-Strasburg’s 7-1 defeat of Cones-toga Valley on Monday.
Jianna Long knew her times weren’t going to be the same. At least not right away.
When it was finally over — after five grueling sets, all the rallies, all the ups and all the downs, digs, blocks and kills — Josh McCoy was a puddle.
Solanco’s softball team, according to head coach Brett Miller, has been finding different ways of winning this season. Sometimes the Golden Mules lead wire-to-wire. Sometimes they have a lead, give it away and rally to win. Sometimes they trail from the jump, then fashion a winning rally.
