It was one of those days on District 10 diamonds Wednesday. A ton of runs and a few dramatic endings made the day one to remember.
Here are some examples:
-- Keven McQueeney belted three home runs and drove in eight runs in Harbor Creek’s 17-5 Region 5 win over General McLane. However, McQueeney wasn’t the only one going deep. The game featured nine – yes, nine – homers. Jared Murosky and Ryan Sheridan also homered for the Huskies. Scott Snyder hit two homers for the Lancers, while Dan Hafner and Luke Kozaczki each hit one.
Six of those homers came in one inning as the Lancers and Huskies combined for 13 runs in the third. McLane hit three homers and scored four times, and Harbor Creek hit three more blasts and scored nine times in the inning.
Coach Tim McQueeney -- Keven McQueeney's father -- said a few of the homers were "what we call Harbor Creek homers" over Harbor Creek's short fence in left field. But he also said that a couple of the homers were "hit really well," a couple were hit to right field and at least one was hit to center.
-- The McDowell and Corry baseball teams were tied at 5 going into extra innings when the unthinkable happened. The Trojans scored 10 runs in the top of the eighth to claim a 15-5 victory. J.P. Frey and Jeff Robson each hit two-run doubles in the inning.
Ryan Skellie finished the game with four hits, including a homer, and four RBIs.
-- Region 3-leading North East is 14-2 overall, but the Grapepickers had plenty of trouble with 0-13 Youngsville. North East needed an RBI single from Dominic Kownacki with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to pull out a 4-3 victory.
-- In softball, Strong Vincent had the most dramatic victory of the day, thanks to Jessica Marsden. She hit a two-run double with two outs in the seventh inning to give the Colonels a 10-9 non-region win over Franklin.
-- The Corry-McDowell softball game appeared to be a showdown between two well-matched teams. Then the Beavers struck for five runs in the first inning and eight more in the second on the way to a surprisingly easy 17-0, four-inning victory.
Meghan Carney went 4-for-4 with four runs and three RBIs, and Tiffani Danks drove in five runs.
-- Girard earned its first win of the season, 5-0 over Seneca, as Amy Erickson pitched a five-hitter and struck out eight. Heather Stearns had three hits and two RBIs, and Hannah Johnson added four hits for Girard (1-13).
