Frank dashes home (again) to lead Penncrest

For the second time in as many weeks, Liam Frank played the hero on the basepaths Wednesday.

Frank stole third base in the seventh inning and scored the game-winning run on an overthrow by the catcher to earn Penncrest a come-from-behind, 9-8 win over Lower Merion.

Frank had doubled to tie the game, part of his two hits and three RBIs. Anthony Costalas, who earned the win, added two hits for the Lions (5-4, 4-4 Central League).

Also in the Central League:

Strath Haven 8, Upper Darby 1 >> Luke Mutz homered, Chase Davis doubled twice and Jack Hafertepe doubled and drove in two for Strath Haven (6-2, 6-1), which got three shutout innings from winner Devon Moore.

Justin Marriott and Matt Tirado doubled for Upper Darby.

Springfield 10, Ridley 2 >> Jared Morris was outstanding, striking out 13 batters in six innings to notch the win, backed by four hits and four RBIs from Tom Quinn and two triples by Nick Gorman for the Cougars (5-3, 4-3).

Ryan Downs doubled and scored for Ridley.

Harriton 8, Haverford 1 >> Dylan Resnick doubled, but Haverford (5-4, 4-4) couldn’t keep pace with the Rams.

In the Del Val League:

Interboro 23, Penn Wood 1 >> Brandon Weldon tossed five strong innings in the game late Tuesday, and Matt Long, Anthony Pagan, Zac Sarkis and Joey Pitts collected two hits each as the Bucs (7-0, 6-0) stayed unbeaten.
