It's an annual rite of passage for high school graduates: Senior week at the beach.

 

Well, most high school grads head to the beach.

 

There are a few, and count Ephrata's Mary Witmer among them, that follow a different path.

 

Looking at Andrew Shreiner after he helped the Chambersburg baseball team to a win Monday evening, you might have thought somebody had dumped a cooler of Gatorade on him.

 

No, it was just sweat that had soaked through his T-shirt and uniform.

 

It was a good sweat, though. Shreiner fired a four-hitter and went 2-for-3 to lead the Trojans to a 5-2 victory over Ephrata in the first round of the District 3 Class AAAA tournament.

 

A year ago, Ephrata ended Carlisle’s dreams of a District Three title when the Mounts defeated the Thundering Herd, 8-5, in the championship game at Hersheypark Stadium.

 

Tuesday night, in the first round of Districts at Carlisle, the second-seeded Thundering Herd returned the favor with a 14-4 victory over the Mounts.
