Today we begin the first full week of the 2009 high school baseball season and if the rest of the year is anything like the first two days, we're in for a thrilling ride this spring.
Friday marked the opening day of the season and with it came a big clash between Camp Hill and Northern. The defending PIAA Class A champion Lions won, 3-0, but that wasn't the biggest story of Day 1. In Lewisberry, Susquehanna Twp. catcher Kyle Hollingsworth finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored to lead the Indians past Red Land, 6-4.
If you remember, Hollingsworth needed to be revived on the field after being hit in the chest and collapsing at home plate during last summer's Keystone Games. We hope that what could have been a tragedy will turn into a stellar year for Hollingsworth.
One day after Hollingsworth came through for Susquehanna Twp., Lebanon Catholic junior left-handed pitcher Mike Whisler tossed a no hitter to lead the Beavers past Berks Christian, 2-0.
Whisler struck out 13 and walked five.
Also on Saturday, Susquenita didn't give up a run in beating Greewood, 10-0, and West Perry, 5-0, to claim the Perry County Tournament at West Perry. The Blackhawks (2-0) have now won three straight games against the rival Mustangs (1-1).
