PIAA PLAYOFFS
CLASS AAAA FINAL
At Penn State
La Salle 4, Conestoga 2 (8 inn.): Working on three days'
rest, Dominic Cuoci became eligible to earn the win when Brian Buckley lined
a two-run single to center in the visiting eighth. John Scheffey posted the
save with a 1-2-3 bottom half. The state title was the Explorers' second in
three years and, as in 2012, they rebounded after falling short for Catholic
League honors. Buckley finished 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI and twice
made strong plays at first base to prevent throwing errors. Cuoci (single)
and Jimmy Herron (sac fly) had the Explorers' earlier RBI. Cuoci allowed
eight hits (three did not leave the infield) and two walks (one intentional)
while striking out two.

CLASS AAAA
At Neumann University, in Aston
La Salle 3, Spring-Ford 0: Dominic Cuoci fired a two-hitter with nine
strikeouts and notched the game-winning RBI with a squib infield single in
the sixth. Brian Buckley and Nick Dermo added authoritative RBI singles in
that same frame. Cuoci showed his brass in the second inning after Shane
Emrich thumped a leadoff triple. He whiffed the next three batters.
CLASS AA
At Northern York High, in Dillsburg
Loyalsock 4, Neumann-Goretti 3: Poor throws on rundowns enabled
Loyalsock to leave behind a 2-2 tie with one run apiece in the fifth and
sixth. In the seventh, with two away and two strikes, recent Boston Red Sox
draftee (fifth round) Josh Ockimey sent a scorcher down the leftfield line
for an RBI double. Another runner tried to score from first, but was tagged
out by the catcher in a short rundown between third and home. Reliever
Charlie Jerla allowed an unearned run in the sixth; it was the only run (of
any kind) scored against him in 23 postseason innings. Ockimey also had a
sac fly and milked two walks.

QUARTERFINALS
CLASS AAAA
At Parkland High, in Allentown
La Salle 3, Hazleton 1: This one featured an all-time
crazy ending. With two away and the bases loaded in the home seventh, Robert
John hit a grounder toward shortstop AJ Grezeszak. It never got to him. The
ball hit the baserunner, ending the game. John Scheffey went the distance
while RBI went to Dominic Cuoci (groundout in first), Nick Dermo and Brian
Buckley (back-to-back walks in fifth). Brad Schneider and Jimmy Herron
halved four hits. This rare night game started at 7:11.
CLASS AA
At Parkland High, in Allentown
Neumann-Goretti 1, Bloomsburg 0: Ethan "E" Pritchett spun a

time in 10 postseason contests; the MLB record is four by the Giants in
1905, 2010 and '12 and the Yankees in '98. The run scored in the third
thanks to singles by Brian Verratti and Vinny Vaccone, a passed ball and a
wild pitch.

PIAA PLAYOFFS
FIRST ROUND
CLASS AAAA
At Ashburn Field
La Salle 6, Boyertown 3: Though Dominic Cuoci allowed 10 hits, six
never left the infield. Nick Dermo (first inning, single), Jimmy Herron
(fourth, single) and Cuoci (fourth, double to base of fence in right) lashed
hits worth two RBI apiece.
At Neumann University
Methacton 4, Washington 0: The Eagles were disheartened by the son of
a former Pub star. Kyle Lowery, whose dad, Ed, was a first team All-City
infielder for Roxborough in '78 (and reached AAA in the minors), broke a
scoreless tie with a two-run, fifth-inning double. Washington rapped five
hits, and Eddie Tingle's double was the best.
CLASS AAA
At La Salle High
Northeastern 3, Wood 1: Matt Funk scored the Vikings' only run on a
fielder's choice off Erik Bowren's bat. Joe Lancellotti started the seventh
with a double, but the momentum was not sustained.
At Stump Stadium, in Pine Grove
Tamaqua 12, Franklin Towne 2 (6 inn.): For Towne, Brian Bradley
lofted a sac fly to score Phil Gilchrist and Matt Schlernitzauer tallied on
the back end of a double steal.
CLASS AA
At La Salle High
Neumann-Goretti 5, Berks Catholic 3: Charlie Jerla, in relief,
pitched shutout ball (three hits) over the final six innings as the Saints
overcame an early scare. Pat Doudican was touched for three unearned runs
(no hits) in the first and was replaced by Jerla after walking the leadoff
batter in the second. Tommy Nardini stroked a two-run single in the
fourth as a three-spot reversed a 3-2 deficit.
CLASS A
At Ashburn Field
Schuylkill Haven 12, Masterman 2 (5 inn.): The Blue Dragons' two runs

CITY TITLES
(Three Games at Ashburn Field)
CLASS AAAA
La Salle 16, Washington 1 (5 inn.): Ryan Coonahan's two-run single
was the most productive of six hits in the Explorers' 11-run second. There
were also five walks and a plunking. Jimmy Herron finished 2-for-2 with a
walk, sacrifice fly and two RBI. Joe Scheffey (three innings) and Joe
"Cardinal" Krol shared the pitching. In GW's fourth, Ishmael Bracy singled,
Scott Siley doubled and Eddie Tingle lofted a sac fly to center.
CLASS AAA
Wood 8, Franklin Towne 0: Soph righthander Anthony Russo fired a
one-hitter (Ray Lopez' groundball single to center to lead off the sixth)
with 14 strikeouts and one walk (game's next-to-last batter) and Erik Bowren
went 3-for-4 with a double, three-run homer (first inning) and four RBI.
Russo just missed tying the all-time CT record for whiffs in a seven-inning
outing; future major leaguer George Riley notched 15 for Southern in 1974
vs. Ryan.
CLASS AA
Neumann-Goretti 12, Phila. Academy 1 (5 inn.): Josh Ockimey began his
week by visiting Florida to work out for the Marlins. He capped it by
crushing a 3-0 fastball roughly 370 feet to right-center for the first grand slam
in the 41-year history of City Titles (1945-79, 2009-14).
In all, he went 3-for-4 with five RBI. Bay To collected two apiece of
hits/walks and scored thrice. Vinny Vaccone went 3-for-3 with a triple, one
RBI and three runs scored. Gino Tripodi bagged the win in relief. For PA,
Eric Heisler doubled and scored.
MAY 27
At Richie Ashburn Field
Washington 3, Franklin Towne 2: Roger Hanson pitched a six-hitter with
nine strikeouts and Ishmael Bracy posted two RBI as the Eagles won their
first championship since 1995 in their initial title-game appearance since
'99. In the previous 14 seasons, they'd lost nine times in semis, four times
in quarterfinals and once in the round of 16 (2000 to Saul, a huge
underdog). Bracy and losing pitcher Steve Callahan traded sac flies in the
first. Bracy (single) and Scott Siley (triple) stroked RBI hits in the third
and FT's Zack Beltran got a run home in the bottom half by drawing the last
of three consecutive walks. In the sixth, after recording two looking Ks,
Hanson allowed three consecutive singles before ending the threat with
another whiff; a doubleplay had ended the third. The Coyotes were retired in
order in the seventh. The title was the Eagles' 10th, and their sixth as the
visiting team. The next day in school, following through on a promise he'd
made to Siley, coach Ken Geiser allowed the Eagles to give him a mohawk.
MAY 23
CATHOLIC LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND, PART II
(At La Salle High)
Neumann-Goretti 11, Roman 0 (5 inn.): Entering what turned out to be a
two-game championship series, Roman had hoped to become the first school in
CL major-sports history to storm to a title after finishing below .500 (7-8
in Red) during the regular season. Instead, N-G (6-1; 12-2 regular season in
Blue) became the first CL school to capture as many as six playoff wins in a
major sport (over 262 seasons between football/basketball/baseball). Charlie
Jerla pitched a four-hitter with eight strikeouts to complete a perfect
playoff stint (no runs of any kind over 16 innings). He also broke a
scoreless tie with a two-run single in a four-run third. Brian Verratti and
Pat Doudican posted RBI singles in a seven-run fourth. Mike Opiela and Conor
Smith doubled for Roman. The site was quickly switched to La Salle High
after Widener informed CL brass that its field was unplayable just three
hours prior to gametime.
PUBLIC LEAGUE SEMIFINALS
(Doubleheader at Ashburn Field)
Washington 6, Masterman 2: Eddie Tingle and Chase Alexander posted
two-run singles in a five-run third and Roger Hanson had nine strikeouts in
a six-hitter as Washington advanced to the final for the first time since
'99. Masterman's Greg Whitehorn bagged two hits.
Franklin Towne 10, Phila. Academy 2: Phil Gilchrist stroked a
two-run single in four-run fourth as the Coyotes upped their lead to 7-2.
Zack Beltran and Matt Schlernitzauer collected two hits apiece, as did PA's
Anthony Pickens and Tim Zink. Steve Callahan went five innings for the win.
MAY 21
CATHOLIC LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND
(At Widener University)
Neumann-Goretti 11, Roman 1 (5 inn): Pat Doudican fashioned a
four-hitter with eight strikeouts and tied the CL playoff record for RBI
with six thanks to a two-run double in the third, then two-run singles in
the fourth and fifth. Bay To added two hits, one RBI. Mike Opiela had an RBI
single for Roman, which missed out on a chance to become the first team in
major-sports CL history to win a championship after finishing below .500
(7-8) in league play.
PUBLIC LEAGUE OVERALL QUARTERFINALS
CLASS AAAA FINAL

with one RBI and Jacob Kurtz pitched shutout ball over the last five frames
(nine whiffs).

LOSERS BRACKET FINAL
(At Widener University)

four-hitter with seven strikeouts and started one of the Saints' three
doubleplays with a barehanded stab of a one-hopper. The three runs (all
unearned) were scored in the third and Bay To's two-out double provided the
spark. An error allowed two runs to score. Pat Doudican then bagged an RBI
on an infield single.

the field.

Boys' Latin 10, King 3: At 22nd and Pennsylvania, Darron Mitchell and
Andrew Crittle each belted two-run homers while Asa James fanned nine over 5

MAY 15
CATHOLIC LEAGUE
WINNERS BRACKET FINAL
(At Immaculata Univ.)
Roman 6, O'Hara 5 (9 inn.): Roman claimed its third playoff win as
the lower seed by scoring five unearned runs over the last four innings
(three in sixth, one apiece in eighth and ninth). Mike Opiela went 4-for-5
with one RBI. Connor McKenna had two hits and one RBI and pitched a 1-2-3
ninth to save Kyle Rogalski's win. For O'Hara, Nolan Cummings (three RBI)
laced a two-out, two-run single to make it 4-4 in the seventh and Bill
Johnson fired a two-out, RBI double into the leftfield corner to make it 5-5
in the seventh. Joe Myers (walk, bunted over by Matt De Treux) scored the
winning run on an off-target throw in an attempt to complete a doubleplay.
LOSERS BRACKET
La Salle 5, Bonner-Prendergast 3:
At La Salle, Brad Schneider went 3 for 4 with run scored and Adam Arcadia
contributed an RBI single to a four-run third. Dominic Cuoci got the win.
Neumann-Goretti 5, Wood 4 (8 inn.): At N-G, Pat Doudican, who
pitched the first seven innings, drove in Bay To with a bases-loaded single
with one out in the home eighth. Doudican went 3 for 4. He allowed seven

PUBLIC LEAGUE
CLASS AA QUARTERFINALS
Phila. Academy 10, Tacony 4: Soph Shawn Hayes went 4-for-4 with two

and Dean D'Angelo homered in support of Rob Freer.
Bracetti 19, Roxborough 6: Bracetti took advantage of 12 errors.
Winner Kelvin Sabastro also doubled. Ricardo Alvarado and Onesimo Bocket
each doubled for Bracetti.
MaST 7, Esperanza 0: Forfeit. A recent Prep Charter-Esperanza
regular season game ended with a benches-clearing episode. The umps gave
each squad a "team forfeit," meaning they'd have to forfeit their next game.
PC had one game remaining prior to the start of the playoffs and, after
forfeiting that one, was allowed to participate in today's playoffs.
Esperanza did not have another pre-playoff game remaining and, thus, lost
this one by forfeit. MaST competes in a suburban league, but is inside the
city limits and competes in the Pub playoffs.
INTER-AC LEAGUE
Haverford School 7, Episcopal 5: In this suspended-earlier game,
Connor Burke pitched a complete game six-hitter and drove in three runs.

streak against Frankford that had covered 26 meetings, including four
playoffs, dating back to '99.
This time, Freddie Martinez' two-run single broke a 3-3 tie in the visiting
sixth and Michael Garcia got the win in relief of his brother, Ismael, who
started his stint by forcing Frankford to strand two runners in scoring
position in the fifth.
Central 9, Northeast 0: Frosh Danny Holdsman (five innings) and
Louis Lobron teamed for a three-hitter while Kyle Rosenberg turned a double
and triple into three RBI.
Olney 6, Lincoln 5: The Trojans won it with two in the visiting

to score Brian Nieves and give the Lions a one-run, first-playoff win
for the fifth consecutive year. This was the fourth with a 4-3 score. The
score in '13 was 3-2. Only in '12 (the fifth) did the Lions not score the
winning run in the final inning. David Fred forced extras with a two-out RBI
single in the seventh. Josh Bittner pitched five shutout innings in relief
to earn the win.

Fusaro (eight) and Will Latcham combined to retire the first 15 batters they
faced over a two-day period. Rain flooded the field with one away in the

3-for-4.
Conwell-Egan 22, Ryan 9: At La Salle, angered that Ryan's softball
players had recently been guilty of a no-no -- ringing C-E's famed victory
bell behind the school -- the Eagles exacted revenge by tying the CL record
for postseason runs; La Salle dropped a 22-run bomb on North Catholic in a
2004 first-rounder. Justin Forktus went 3-for-4 with two doubles and five
RBI. Other hitting heroes: Greg Black (4-for-4, two doubles, three RBI);
