Beating your rival is fun. Sweeping them in a doubleheader is the best kind of fun. That’s what South Parkland (6-0) was able to do when it took a pair of Lehigh Valley Legion baseball games against North Parkland (3-3) recently as the Trojans established themselves as the team to beat in the league this summer. In the opener, South Parkland put up a five-spot in the bottom of the first inning and never had to look back. The inning started in a tough way for the Buffaloes, who misplayed a ball hit to left on the first pitch of the inning to allow Andrew Klotz to reach second with nobody out. Klotz stole third before Will Dobil left no doubt about whether he would score when he tripled to center for the first run of the game. Kurt Meehan delivered an RBI single and Jaiden Wanamaker produced the second triple of the inning to put his team up 3-0. South Parkland tacked on another run with an RBI single by Mack Parsell and got the final run of the inning when Xander Provence singled to bring in Parsell for a 5-0 lead. Wanamaker went to the mound and retired North Parkland in order in the second. South Parkland put a runner on second with two outs and was able to scrape out another run on an error that brought Dobil home from third. South Parkland got aggressive in the fourth as Klotz walked to open the inning and stole second and then third. Meehan grounded a ball to short that allowed Klotz to score on the play and stretch the lead to 7-0. North Parkland came up with a two-out run in the fifth and all was quiet until the bottom of the sixth when South Parkland scored three times to put the game away. Klotz tripled to lead off the inning and Dobil grounded out to first to bring him home. Wanamaker doubled to right and Parsell followed with an RBI single ahead of Ben Weninger’s triple – the fourth of the game for South Parkland - to center made it 10-1. Wanamaker allowed one run on just two hits while striking out seven over five innings for South Parkland to record the win. In the nightcap, Klotz kept his bat hot with three singles in the game. After the Buffaloes got on the board in the top of the first, South Parkland came right back with an RBI single from Meehan, a two-run triple by Wanamaker and a ground out by Parsell that brought in a run to put Parkland up 4-2. The Buffaloes were not going to go quietly as they tied the game in the top of the second. Of course, South Parkland was not conceding anything as it came up with a three-run bottom of the second. Singles by Grant Damweber and John Friday were followed by a walk to Wanamaker to load the bases with nobody out. Klotz brought in Damweber with a single to left and Klotz followed that with a steal of home to make it 6-4. Wanamaker then scored on a groundout for a three-run lead. Again, the game tightened, and South Parkland’s lead was down to 7-6 going into the bottom of the sixth. A bases loaded groundball brought in one run and Michael Kohler doubled to plate two more. South Parkland scored their final run on a sacrifice fly by Klotz that made it 11-6. Weninger allowed one unearned run over three innings to get the win.
