COCHRANTON, Pa. – Garrett Long, Alex McDonough, Alex McKay and Curtis Freyermuth drove in two runs each as Cochranton rolled to a 16-0 win over Youngsville on Tuesday.

That quartet, as well as Brandon Richter, all drove in two runs apiece for the Cardinals (3-0), who took advantage of a few Eagles (1-1) miscues and scored 11 runs in the second inning.

“We made several errors we didn’t make the other day (against Iroquois),” Youngsville coach Kevin Hoover said. “We helped them out and gave them a lot of extra runs. It was a good day on the mound, but our fielders didn’t help our pitchers out.”

Garrett Long (2 innings, 1 hit, 3 strikeouts) and Tanner Fox (1 inning, 1 strikeout) combined to limit Youngsville (1-1) to just one hit in four innings.

“We put the ball in play several times, but they fielded it and threw us out,” Hoover said. “They had good pitching, but we were able to put it in play. They just made plays where we made errors.”

Youngsville must regroup quickly if it wants to get back in the win column. The Eagles head to Werner Park today for a cross-county clash with Eisenhower.

“I’m sure they’ll get up for the game,” Hoover said. “It’s a typical Youngsville-Eisenhower game. It’s easy for the guys to get up for a game like that.”

OTTO-ELDRED 13, EISENHOWER 0

Otto-Eldred scored at least two runs in each of the first four innings en route to a 13-0 win over visiting Eisenhower Tuesday.

Four Terrors pitchers combined for the 1-hit shutout, while Jacob Merry and Chris Connelly combined for five of the nine O-E hits on the day.

The Terrors (4-0) built an 8-0 lead through the first three innnings before exploding for five more in the fourth. Eisenhower (0-1) managed just two baserunners in the game as Merry, Andrew Sheeler, Chase Sebastian and Cole Sebastion combined for the shutout.

The Knights will look to pick up their first win of the season today when they host cross county rival Youngsville at Werner Park.
