Playoff Baseball: Linglestown's last-inning rally falls short

Linglestown Twilight plated three runs in the seventh inning Wednesday evening and had the tying runner on second base, but Palmyra snuffed out the rally with a double play and an unassisted out at first base to win 4-3.

The turning point of the game was a controversial three-run homer in the second inning by Palmyra shortstop Dustin Stuck. He hit a deep shot into the right-field corner that appeared to bounce, hit the foul pole and come back into the field. The umpires awarded Stuck with a home run even though they didn't get a good look at the hit.

Our guys still lead the best-of-seven playoff championship series 2-1. Game four will be played Friday at In The Net in Palmyra.
