Franklin County Cooking

The two counties with the most high school baseball teams in the Mid-Penn Conference were nearly kept out of this year's conference tournament. Cumberland and Dauphin counties placed one team -- Hershey -- in the four-team event, which is hosted by York County's Northern High School. Franklin County schools Chambersburg, Shippensburg and Greencastle-Antrim all crashed this year's event.

Here are the qualifiers:

Mid-Penn Commonwealth -- Chambersburg (won on tiebreaker over Red Land)
Mid-Penn Keystone -- Hershey (won by three games over Gettysburg, Susquehanna Twp. and Mechanicsburg)
Mid-Penn Colonial -- Shippensburg (won by a game over Waynesboro)
Mid-Penn Capital -- Greencastle-Antrim (won by a game over James Buchanan)
