Trio of PAC pitchers shine in lopsided contests

Upper Perkiomen’s Taylor Lindsay, Perkiomen Valley’s Abby Wild and Spring-Ford’s Sam Lindsay all had stellar days in the circle, leading each of their respective teams to wins in Pioneer Athletic Conference play on Thursday afternoon.

UP’s Lindsay went six innings, allowing only one hit while striking out eight as the Indians downed Pottsgrove 11-0 via the Mercy Rule in six innings. Wild’s 11 strikeouts in her complete-game effort was more than enough for Perkiomen Valley, which used a seven-run sixth inning to take control of OJR in an eventual 9-2 victory. In Royersford, Sam Lindsay was overpowering, striking out 13 Eagles through five innings as the Rams ten-runned Norristown 12-2 at Ram Park.
