Monday's Westmoreland Sports Notebook
The District 31 American Legion baseball championship game is set, as Latrobe and Murrysville punched their tickets over the weekend. The Jethawks swept Hempfield East in the best-of-three semifinals, winning 1-0 on Friday and scoring a decisive 9-1 triumph on Saturday. In the first victory at Greater Latrobe High School, Haden Sierocky provided the walkoff RBI single in the bottom of the seventh, which scored Erick Batista. Jack Stynchula was stellar on the mound for the Jethawks, as he limited Hempfield East to just three hits in the shutout. On Saturday at the University of Pitt-Greensburg, Tyler Smith thrived on the hill, as he spun a three-hitter. Offensively, Smith was 3-for-3, Batista had a pair of hits and two RBIs, and Cooper Basciano also had two hits. In the other semifinals, the Eagles bested Bushy Run 4-3 on Saturday, and edged the Beavers 2-1 on Sunday. In Game 1 at Penn-Trafford High School, the Eagles threw out the potential tying run, Jonny Lovre, at the plate to end the game. Murrysville scored a pair of runs apiece in the second and third innings, as Nolan Boehm had two hits, a pair of RBIs, and scored twice, while Brody Reese notched two doubles. On Sunday at Haymaker Park, the Eagles scored twice in the opening inning, and that was enough run support for pitchers Erik Streussnig and Blake Bertucci. Streussnig and Boehm produced RBIs, while Reese and Cole Brinker each collected two hits. As a result, the top-seeded Jethawks will host No. 3 Murrysville on Wednesday at 5:30, while Bushy Run will welcome Hempfield East in the consolation game at the same time.
