Check out the recaps for SOL baseball teams in action Wednesday.
Non-league
NORTH PENN 15, HATBORO-HORSHAM 6
In a slugfest that saw the teams combine for 29 hits – eight for extra bases – and 21 runs, it was the Knights earning the non-league win.
Colby Seelig led the Knights’ hit parade with a perfect 4-for-4 showing that included three doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored. Leadoff batter Jack Picozzi was 3-for-5 with a double, RBI and three runs scored, and Tyler Bohn was productive out of the eight hole, finishing 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBIs and three runs scored. Quinn Marett was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored.
The Hatters were led by the multiple hit efforts of Will Bruner (2-for-3) and Zach Greenberg (2-for-3, RBI, 1R).
The fun started early for Seelig, who lined a one-out double to center that plated Picozzi. The Hatters answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning.
Trey Porter doubled to lead off the inning, and Jack Elwell followed with a single. Porter scored on a successful double steal, and Cole Fisher’s double to left plated a run that put the Hatters on top 2-1.
Picozzi’s RBI single in the second evened the score, and the Knights added single runs in both the third and fourth innings before erupting for six in the fifth to seize control of the game.
In the third, Seelig – who doubled to left to lead off the inning – scored on a sacrifice fly by Zachary Riddle. One inning later, Picozzi doubled and scored on a single by Colin Orndorff to put the Knights on top 4-2. The six-run fifth was highlighted by a three-run home run to left field by Tyler Bohn. By the time the inning was over, the Knights led 10-2 and were well on their way to the win.
Three pitchers saw time on the mound for the Knights. Sean Brennan threw four innings, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out seven and walking two. Jaden Dormer allowed four hits and three runs in two innings, and Christopher LaRosa allowed one run in an inning of relief.
Six pitchers saw action for the Hatters, combining to allow 15 hits and 13 earned runs. They struck out just three and walked nine.
North Penn (14-5, 11-5 SOL) is ninth in the latest District One 6A rankings, and Hatboro-Horsham (12-8, 11-5) is seventh.

RADNOR 11, PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 7
The Colonials collected just five singles but benefitted from 10 walks and two Radnor miscues to put seven runs on the board, but it wasn’t enough in Wednesday’s non-league contest.
In the top of the second, the Colonials scored three runs without collecting a hit. Radnor answered with two runs in both the second and third innings, and after the Colonials – thanks to a Luke Gartland RBI single – scored one in the top of the fourth to knot the score 4-4, Radnor used a six-run outburst in the bottom of the inning to take a lead it would not lose.
Plymouth Whitemarsh (17-3, 14-2 SOL) is second in the latest District One 6A power rankings.
