Berks Sports Report Paul Roberts
A wise man once said that good pitching beats good hitting. That was the case on Monday across Berks County. There were several outstanding performances on the mound in the BCIAA.
Wilson held off Fleetwood 2-1. Jack Gabel allowed one run on four hits in 5.2 innings. The junior struck out seven. Gabel recently committed to West Chester University. Wylie Loy was the tough luck losing pitcher. The Bulldogs scored twice in the first inning and were blanked the rest of the way. Loy held Wilson to three hits over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts.
Twin Valley shut down Conrad Weiser 8-0. Kooper Zdimal limited the Scouts to two hits in five frames. The Kutztown University commit struck out six as the Raiders bounced back from an extra inning loss to Gov. Mifflin on Saturday.
Kutztown defeated Wyomissing 4-1. The Spartans managed just a pair of hits off Colin Diehl in 6.1 innings. Diehl finished with six strikeouts.
Brandywine Heights rolled over Oley Valley 9-0. Matt Sterner went the distance. He piled up a dozen strikeouts, including the 100th of his career. Sterner only gave up one hit and one walk.
Reading scored two runs in the bottom of the 7th to top Daniel Boone 12-11. David Garcia allowed five runs in four innings, but only one of those runs was earned. He held the Blazers to two hits.
