Non-league
Souderton 12, Lansdale Catholic 2 (5 innings)
Sparked by the four-RBI day of senior Jacob Horton, the Indians scored early and often on their way to a mercy rule win over the visiting Crusaders in a non-league contest Saturday.
In the top of the first, Souderton put four runs on the board. Shanley Wall got things started with a double, and one out later, Luke Pollock collected an infield single. Alex Morales followed with an RBI single, and the Indians also benefitted from an error as well as four walks.
The Indians added five runs in the second inning. They were on the receiving end of five free passes as well as a costly miscue. Jacob Horton’s two-run triple to center field highlighted the inning. Ryan Kagarise had a two-run single.
Leading the Indians’ 10-hit attack were Horton (2-for-3, 3B, 4 RBIs, 1R), Morales (2-for-3, RBI, 1R) and Kagarise (2-for-4, 3 RBIs, 2R).
Zach Crouthamel notched the win, allowing three hits and two runs (one earned) in five solid innings while striking out six and walking one.
Souderton (9-10, 6-9 SOL) will travel to Central Bucks West on Tuesday.
