FRACKVILLE – Early on, neither team could seem to find an advantage Wednesday evening under the lights in Frackville, though it was the home team that would take the victory.

Shenandoah’s Phoenix Fire Co. Little League team traveled down to Frackville to take on their Elks team at the Little League complex on High Street.

An inside-the-park home run gave the Elks an early score, though Phoenix kept the game close throughout.
