POTTSVILLE – No, we’ve still got a little under two months left until football season, but the score in Saturday’s Little League All-Star bout would indicate otherwise.
Shenandoah travelled to Railway Park in the city to face Pottsville in the District 24 Little League 8-10 semifinals.
The game began a few minutes late because of a passing rain shower.
Shenandoah opened up scoring, earning four runs in the bottom of the first to take a 4-0 lead.
In the top of the second, Pottsville incinerated that lead, going on a 14-run rally to take a 14-4 advantage.
Our Shenandoah All-Stars weren’t going down without a fight, scoring seven in the bottom of the second to close the gap to within three, with Pottsville leading 14-11.
Shenandoah and Pottsville each scored two runs in the fourth, taking a 16-13 game into the fifth.
Pottsville increased their lead in the top of the fifth to 20-13.
Shenandoah managed to score another run in the sixth, but no more, falling to Pottsville by a football-esque score of 20-14.
Pottsville moves on to the 8-10 final Wednesday against Upper Dauphin/Millersburg.
