PECO rivals clinch share

Bobby Kohl's two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning and Taylor Nace's (right) complete-game shutout helped Susquenita bounced visiting Trinity, 3-0, Tuesday afternoon.

The win clinched at least a share of the Mid-Penn Capital Division for Susquenita. If Trinity loses to Boiling Springs on Thursday, the Blackhawks will share the division with rival West Perry. The two teams, both 11-3 in the Capital, would then have a one-game playoff to determine which team represents the division in next week's Mid-Penn Tournament at Northern.

Such a game would be the fourth meeting between Susquenita and West Perry this spring.

If Trinity beats the Bubblers on Thursday, coach Al Hobby's crew will force a three-way tie with the Perry County boys. We're still awaiting word from the Mid-Penn as to what tiebreaking procedures it will use in the event of a three-way tie.
