Upper Dublin opened SOL play with an impressive win. Check out all the results for SOL baseball teams in action Tuesday.
UPPER DUBLIN 2, WISSAHICKON 1
In a riveting battle between last year’s conference co-champions, it was the Flying Cardinals – behind the four-hit effort of senior Cole Swiger – edging the Trojans in Tuesday’s SOL opener.
Swiger and Trojan ace Logan Willans were locked in a classic pitcher’s duel as neither team got on the scoreboard until the sixth when Swiger helped his own cause with an RBI double to put the visitors on top 1-0. The Trojans got that run back in the bottom of the sixth, thanks to Alex Tappen’s RBI single. The Cards pushed a run across in the seventh, and this time the Trojans had no answer.
Swiger fanned three and walked three in the complete game win. Willans – who had his team’s only extra base hit with a double – allowed five hits and one earned run, striking out seven and walking just one.
Upper Dublin’s JT Breslin turned in the only multi-hit performance, finishing the day 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Upper Dublin (1-0 SOL) will host Norristown on Thursday, and Wissahickon (0-2, 1-1) will host William Penn Charter in a non-league game on Wednesday before traveling to Springfield on Thursday.

The Patriots put a pair of runs on the board in the first with the benefit of just one hit – a leadoff single to Cameron Komanchak. CJ Gillmer drew a walk, and when Andrew Collins was hit by a pitch, the bases were loaded. A bases-loaded walk to Collin Sheehan pushed a run across, and Gillmer’s steal of home made it a 2-0 game. Andrew Alvino fanned the next three batters he faced to close out the frame, but the Patriots had all the runs they would need.
In the second, the Patriots added a pair of runs without collecting a hit, benefitting from three walks, a hit batter and a sacrifice fly by Gillmer. They tacked on a run in the fifth for the 5-0 final.
The two teams combined for just five hits.
Neshaminy’s Jerry Scavone threw three strong innings in relief, allowing just one hit and one unearned run.
