Huntingdon Valley (HV) bounced back after losing the first game of a doubleheader against Warminster behind Ace pitcher Brian Camp (7 IP, 5 Hits, 0 Walks, 5 strikeouts) 5-3. HV went out in the second game with something to prove and that they did. They scored 3 runs in the top of the 1st inning and really never looked back. Team Captain Jake Madnick knocked in 2 runs and Lou Palmer sacrifice bunted in another. Warminster dominated in the first game while walking away with a 8-0 victory. HV sits tied for 3rd place in the league with a 3-2 record.
HV came out flat in the first game and really showed little life while Warminster pitcher had little trouble in defeating them.
HV received a huge day from centerfielder Jesse Goldstein with 3 hits, 2 runs scored and an RBI while winning the 2nd game 5-3.
"Again this was another team effort that gets it done" Coach Evan Horn said "The first game we where very flat and but the kids still tried everything possible to get something going, that shows the team leadership we have here. Even when things are going bad we still are trying our hardest to get something in the positive direction. Warminsters pitcher worked ahead on almost every batter and had his curveball breaking for strikes. Take your hat off to him he was awesome. Things dont always work out for the better but when the effort is there you cant complain"
Coach Horn had this to say about the effort in the 2nd game "The second game was more like HV baseball. I put the horse on the mound and like he has done a total of 2 other times he just gives me everything he has. Brian Camp is one of the best pitchers in this league hands down, he gives everything he has and a bowl of soup. The kid is great to coach and better to talk to between innings. A flat out great kid. What cant be left out is the incredable play I am getting from the "J" brothers. Jesse (Goldstein), Jared (Licht) and Jake (Madnick). These boys are playing with a chip on thier shoulders. They see a great thing here and want to ride the wave"
HV plays Tuesday at home against a tough Fort Washington team. HV will send Ross Goodman to the mound.
