Joe Tuschak belted a grand slam in the fourth inning to give Northern a 6-2 lead and junior pitcher Vince Apicella was solid in a complete-game performance to lift the Polar Bears past pesky Tunkhannock, 6-3, Friday morning at Penn State's Medlar Field.
Northern's title is the school's first state baseball championship and the Polar Bears are the first team from The Sentinel's coverage area to win a big-school title since Red Land won the 1990 PIAA Class AAA tournament.
Apicella struck out eight, didn't issue a walk and scattered six hits to improve to 12-1.
Tuschak, Cody McLaughlin and Mark Stetts finished with two hits each for Northern (23-5).
