After winning last week's Future Stars competition at Koons Park last week, Linglestown 10-and-under All-Stars played in opening-day games of the Palmyra tournament Sunday. They beat Susquehanna Twp. in the first game 15-1. Pitcher Jordie Sellers allowed only one run in two innings pitched. Relief pitchers Christian Fox-Klein and Nick Wilson were solid on the mound. Derek Danko led Linglestown with four hits, and Fox-Klein, Athan Graham and Brandon McNeal had two hits each.

Later in the day, Linglestown went on to defeat Palmyra 3-1 in the double elimination tournament. Pitcher Braydon Parr allowed only four hits and played stellar defense, snagging five hard hit balls for put outs. At the plate, he led the Linglestown sluggers with two hits. Brandon McNeal, Jordie Sellers, Derek Danko, AJ Millar, and Christian Fox-Klein each had singles.
