Huntingdon Valley (HV) played Yardley-Morrisville (YM) in a Non-League American Legion Game on Thursday night to a 4-4 tie. Each team used most of their pitchers in the game for an inning or two and the game was very competitive.
"When you have two teams from two different leagues you just dont know what to expect" Coach Evan Horn said "They are a well coached team with many good players so it was nice to see my boys battle with them from the first pitch to the last"
HV used pitchers Brian Camp and Matt Lawlor for 2 innings each and Ross "Chips" Goodman for 1 2/3. Robert Hoffman closed the game out with the final out.
"I wanted to see all my pitchers throw the pill today and we closed the door with Hoff (Robert Hoffman) even though he made it interesting at the end" Coach Horn said.
HV feel behind in the bottom of the 2nd inning but bounced back plating 2 runs in the top of the third. Goodman lined a 2 out single to left field to score Paul Buckley (1-3) and Hoffman (2-3).
"Chips (Ross Goodman) came through when we needed him to with a 2 strike count" Coach Horn continued "When Chips puts the ball in play I beleive he has a better chance of getting a hit then not. We need him doing that to continue to improve"
HV scored 2 more runs when YM walked them in. YM tied the game in the bottom of the 5th which ended the scoring. The game was called after the 6th inning due to darkness.
"It was a great night for baseball on a great field (Philadelphia Bible college) with two teams looking to get better and have some fun" Horn said "I had my catcher playing shortstop and my third basemen playing catcher, it was a great time for my boys and that is all that matters"
