Non-league
QUAKERTOWN 11, PARKLAND 1 (5 innings)
The Panthers put five runs on the board in the first inning and never looked back on their way to the abbreviated mercy rule win in Monday’s non-league contest.
Four pitchers combined for a one-hitter while the Panthers pounded out 12 hits. Macen Probithon, who earned the win, started and threw two shutout innings. He did not allow a hit while striking out three and walking two. Cooper Natisin did not allow a hit in one shutout inning, fanning two, and Matt Marsten allowed one hit and one run in one inning, striking out one and walking one. Jackson Gilman closed it out with a shutout inning, striking out one.
After a 1-2-3 top of the first by Probithon, the Panthers used four walks, singles by Natisin, Tanner Clancy (RBI) and Gunner Rahn (RBI) as well as a sacrifice fly by Brady Martin to score five runs.
The Panthers opened the second with consecutive singles by Cole Reich, Natisin, Clancy and Caleb Everitt (RBI) as well as a bases loaded walk to Marsten to add a pair of runs.
A three-run third was highlighted by Reich’s RBI triple to center field, and the Panthers added a run in the fourth to close out the scoring.
Natisin’s 3-for-3 effort with two RBIs and a run scored led the Panthers. Reich was 2-for-3 with a triple, RBI and three runs scored, Clancy was 2-for-3 with an RBI and run scored, Everitt was 2-for-2 with two RBIs and a run, and Rahn was 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Dan Qualteria was 1-for-3 with three runs scored out of the leadoff spot.
