Lancaster Bible 12, Clarks Summit 1 -- Game 1
How it Happened: The Chargers scored twice in the first inning, but that did it for the offense for both teams through 3 1/2 innings as the Chargers wasted a few other opportunities, but were aided by starting pitcher Nate Staffieri who threw a gem. Staffieri allowed just one hit in his four innings as he kept the Defenders' hitters off balance and allowed Lancaster Bible's offense to wake up.

Wake up they did as the Chargers exploded for eight runs in the bottom half of the fourth inning as freshman Matt Taylor put an exclamation point on the inning with a three-run blast to center field. Senior Justin Taylor followed with a two-run home run of his own in the bottom of the fifth to give Lancaster Bible a 12-0 lead and the Chargers would go on to win, 12-1.

Lancaster Bible scored four runs in its half of the first inning and grabbed a 4-1 lead. 

Lancaster Bible extended its lead to 6-1 in the third inning on back-to-back RBI hits from junior JJ Sanchez and Niedergall and then put the game out of reach in the sixth inning as junior Will Welsh hit a ball towards Route 222 for a three-run home run.
