SURPRISING RUN CARRIES BECAHI ALL THE WAY TO THE SHIP
I'm not sure how many people expected Bethlehem Catholic to be playing at this point in the season. But when you spend the entire regular season playing against top-notch, 4A competition, you've set yourself up pretty well to make a run in the 3A state tournament.
The Golden Hawks have followed up their District 11 Championship with an impressive run through the state playoffs. The highlight, without a doubt, came in Monday's semifinal win.
Facing a heavily favored Milton team (they were 22-1 entering the game), the Golden Hawks went toe-to-toe with the Panthers through the first six innings. They then plated a pair of runs (with Erika Esposito and Kelly King supplying the RBIs) in the 7th inning, and held on for a dramatic, 2-1 upset victory.
Now, Becahi turns its attention to Friday's state title game, where it will face Greencastle Antrim, another powerhouse out of District 3. The game is slated for 4:00pm out at Shippensburg's Robb Field, and you can catch all the highlights on 69 News at 10:00.
