Mounts Win League Title

16 May 2023
Written by Mike Gross — LNP

A year ago at about this time, Manheim Township was rolling over Ephrata in the Lancaster-Lebanon League championship game when Adrian Shelley, the Mounts’ coach, surveyed the mood in his dugout and was less than delighted.

“Things got a little noncompetitive,’’ Shelley recalled Monday night at Clipper Magazine Stadium, with a goal medal around his neck.

“I said to the dugout, ‘we got to remember this, because it looks like we’re ready to tuck our tails and jump on a bus and go home.’’’ It was 11-2, Township. Shelley gave the ball to then-junior pitcher Ben Burkey, who “went out there and showed some grit.’’

The task before Ephrata’s softball team, making its first Lancaster-Lebanon League playoff appearance in 23 years, was not Sisyphean. At least at the start.

For five innings Friday afternoon in Mount Joy, the Mountaineers pushed the metaphorical boulder of a quarterfinal victory up the hill. Just when it seemed they had pushed it over the top — defeating host Donegal — the boulder rolled back and over them.

Snyder's HR Sparks Mounts

09 May 2023
Written by Dave Byrne — LNP

It’s the time of the year when every pitch counts. When every mistake, however innocent, is magnified.

Of the 233 total pitches thrown by Ephrata’s Ellie Meier and Elizabethtown’s Breonna Edgell on Monday afternoon, none loomed larger than Edgell’s 0-1 offering to Addy Snyder in the third inning.

Here’s Harry Kalas with the call: “High towering fly to deep center field. Outta Here!!!”
