Twilight defeats Penbrook in pitchers’ dual

KOONS PARK (July 24) – Pitchers Jack Muscalus for Linglestown and Ted Stauruch for Penbrook baffled batters Thursday evening before a nice crowd at Koons Park. In the end, first-place Linglestown did just enough in their last at-bat to stop the visitors when Brad Sanders (pictured at bat) collected the game's only RBI on a bloop single to earn a 1-0 victory.

Prior to Sander’s gaming-winning hit, catcher Bryan Stovall delivered a key hit that moved left fielder Jason Kelly, who reached on an error, to third base.

Winning pitcher Muscalus faced just 23 batters, limiting Penbrook to three hits.

Twilight notes … Muscalus (pictured) is arguably the best hurler in the East Twilight loop with a 6-0 record and an extremely stingy 1.0 earned run average. … Linglestown (18-7-2) ends its regular season Monday, July 28, with an away game at Lykens/Wisconisco. Post-season play will begin in early August – check Linglestown Gazette for game dates and locations. … What would a Twilight report be without a "Where’s Rhys?" segment? In the Penbrook game, pitcher/DH Rhys Wolford left the comforts of the Twilight bench two times to serve as a courtesy runner for catcher Stovall.
