Meyers 3-Run Walkoff Homerun Helps Huntingdon Valley Beat The Morelanders
4-3
Huntingdon Valley (HV) raised its record to 2-0 as Slugger Matt Meyers hit a 3 run walk-off home run with 2 outs in the home 7th inning tonight against the leagues top team The Morelanders (More) 4-3. Meyers home run came as no surprise as the same thing happened last season against the same team.
"Matt did it again tonight" a very happy Head Coach Evan Horn said "Matt did it last season almost in the same part of the game" (Meyers hit a 2 run home run last season in the top of the 8th inning with 2 outs to push HV to the victory) "I was thinking that he was up 5th in the inning and maybe he will get a chance to do it again. After 2 outs and nobody on base it didn't look good but my Palmer boys got on base and then the first pitch to Matty and after the swing I said Holy Pickle Juice that ball is gone and then the party started"
HV and More went back and forth and entire game with More taking the lead 3-1 with a 2 run 6th inning off pitcher Paul Buckley. Buckley was lifted in favor of Lower Moreland Junior Nick Cerruti who came in and stop the bleeding
"Buck (Buckley) didn't have his "A" game today and like I said after the game I was very impressed with how he still gave everything he could and kept us in the game. Buck being a senior on the team showed what it takes and I just love that kid" Horn continued "Its funny how it turns out but Cerruti gets the win and all the glory but Buck was the reason we where able to get the W. Cerruti is growing, in baseball terms, every game and he will be a horse for this team over the next 3 seasons.
Coach Horn was also very quick to point out that beating More is a very hard thing to do
"They (More) are the top dog this season. They have tons of pitching tons of hitting and a great coach in Ken (Irwin). I am very honored to beat them this time and am very sure that they will remember this game and come out next game with an edge. We have to keep the pressure on them and try and get that last at bat within striking distance"
HV received a great all around game from Rafael Fernandez, 2 hits from Brian Buckley and an RBI Single from Jordan Pocrass
"We are young this season and have a ton of kids that are happy to contribute and do whatever it takes to win. This group is growing on our Coaching staff quick but I guess winning the first 2 games of the season that will happen" Horn said
HV is at Warminster this Sunday at 3:00 for a Doubleheader
