CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 10, CENTRAL 0 (Five innings)
Everybody got a piece of the action in Central Bucks South’s 10-0 rout of Central in a PIAA Class AAA Tournament opening round game at Spring-Ford High School on Monday.
Nineteen players saw action for the Titans in a game that was halted after five innings when the mercy rule went into effect.
“That was important to me to have them participate in the state tournament,” coach Jenn Robinson said. “The only down side is now I have to work the next two days getting the pitch speed and the bat speed up.
“We adjusted to a very slow pitcher. Now we have to do the opposite.”
Devon Utterback and Francesca Carrullo were untouchable, combining for the abbreviated no hitter. Utterback, who notched the win, fanned nine in four innings while Carrullo struck out two in the final frame.
The only contact the Lancers made, according to Robinson, was on a pair of bunts back to the mound.
Offensively, the Titans were led by the two-hit performances of Morgan Decker (2 doubles, RBI), Lauren Klepchick (double) and Taylre Stocks (double, RBI). Molly Hare added a double to the Titans’ 13-hit attack.
The Titans plated a single run in the first and added two more in the second. A six-run outburst in the third blew the game wide open, and they brought an early end to the game with one run in the fifth.
The Titans will face Governor Mifflin – a surprise winner over Owen J. Roberts - in a state quarterfinal game on Thursday.
