MILROY- Moving right along!

The MIfflin County 15-16s baseball team keeps things rolling along as they posted their second win in as many games after the second day of the Mid-Atlantic Championships Friday at Milroy’s Armagh Field.

The “Blue-and-White” easily defeated Atlantic Shore 6-0.

M.C. pitchers Thad Gerwick pitched a masterpiece allowing only one hit while going the distance.

Offensively, Mifflin County finished with five hits on the day.

Picking up hits for Mifflin County were Gerwick, Na Zae Traxler, Carson Cherry, Braxton Smith and Elliot Yetter.

Mifflin County got the game off and running, posting three runs in their first at bats.

Yetter started with a one-out walk.

Cherry blasted a single into left, moving Yetter to second.

Jayden Smith took one for the team as he was plunked on an Atlantic Shore offering, loading the bases.

Gerwick cleared the bases as he blasted a double on a laser shot to right, putting MC up quickly 3-0.

In the fourth, Mifflin County added to their lead.

With one out, Kyle Shupp hustled out an Atlantic miscue.

Shupp later scored on a sizzling single by Traxler, upping the lead to 4-0. Traxler showed his speed as he stole second and then moved to third on a fielders choice.

Cherry notches the RBI fielders’ choice allowing Traxler to score.

Mifflin County was t quite done yet as they added an insurance run in the sixth.

Yetter blasted a line drive past shortstop getting the inning underway. He stole second and then moved and later scored on a miscue by Atlantic Shore, putting runners on first and third.

That would all Gerwick and his defense would need, moving onto the 6-0 victory and carrying a 2-0 record into Day 3.
