The NORCO semifinals got underway on Monday with top-seeded Wanderers taking on their Bethlehem friends Freemansburg in the best of three series.

Northampton was the two seed and hosted Hellertown, the fifth seed, to start their best of three series.

Both top seeds won their opening round games as Wanderers was a 4-2 winner and Northampton a 3-0 winner.

Freemansburg snuck into the playoffs as the sixth-seed and knocked off East Stroudsburg in three games, winning the finale 6-2 to put them in a showdown with the Wanderers.

The Wanderers defeated Freemansburg twice during the regular season, 9-2 and 6-3 respectively

Hellertown swept Nazareth in two games to advance in what should be an interesting matchup with Northampton, as both teams split their season series this summer.

Game two action took place Tuesday at the home of the lower seeds with game three switching back to the top seed’s home field, if necessary. Those games gare scheduled for Wednesday, July 10.
