Frontier 11, Smith Academy 4 (8) — The Redhawk bats came through to stave off a comeback attempt from the Falcons in Hatfield on Tuesday.

“Happy to get the win,” Frontier coach Chris Williams said. “The new pitch count rule had an enormous impact on this game. I feel for [Smith Academy coach] Mike [Afflitto] for having to pull him and feel for the kid to have to be pulled in that situation. He had an excellent day throwing out there.”
