Mounts Winners in Section 2
- 09 May 2023
The final out of the Lancaster- Lebanon League baseball regular season and the final piece of the league’s playoff puzzle were delivered by Ephrata and its freshman pitcher Camryn Simes on Monday.
Simes threw a two-hit shutout as the Mounts edged Elizabethtown 1-0 to lock up the L-L Section Two title under the lights at War Memorial Field.
The Bears (13-7 overall, 9-6 in the section) had reeled off seven straight late-season wins to make Section Two a three-team pennant race, but are out of the league playoffs with the loss, coupled with section runner-up Lampeter-Strasburg’s 7-1 defeat of Cones-toga Valley on Monday.
Jianna Long knew her times weren’t going to be the same. At least not right away.
Solanco’s softball team, according to head coach Brett Miller, has been finding different ways of winning this season. Sometimes the Golden Mules lead wire-to-wire. Sometimes they have a lead, give it away and rally to win. Sometimes they trail from the jump, then fashion a winning rally.
When it was finally over — after five grueling sets, all the rallies, all the ups and all the downs, digs, blocks and kills — Josh McCoy was a puddle.
