LEWISTOWN — As finales go, this one by the Mifflin County Huskies was forgettable.

The Huskies, winners of the Mid Penn’s Commonwealth Division and freshly anointed top seed for the District 6 Class 6A Baseball Tournament, made three costly errors and five Mifflin County hurlers combined to walk eight batters in a 6-3 non-conference loss to Central Mountain at Capouillez Field on Tuesday afternoon, in Lewistown.

The Wildcats (13-4) grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning as Darius Shade singled on a line drive to left, and, one batter later, Austin Frank reached on an error when shortstop Karl Shirely booted his ground ball. Huskies starter Parker Crownover then walked the bases loaded. Central Mountain’s Yafran Sanchez then reached on another error as Mifflin County third baseman Lincoln Ruble misplayed the ground ball. Frank and Shade both raced home on the play.

The Wildcats widened the gap to 3-0 in the third as Blake Walker doubled and scored on a single by Watt Probst.

Mifflin County (13-6) got a run on the scoreboard in the fifth as Ezra Beamer walked with two outs, advanced to second when Chase Hartung walked and scampered home on a single by Joel Beamer.

Central Mountain added two insurance runs in the sixth as Shade was hit by a pitch and Luke Nonemaker, Austin Frank and Hayes Miller all walked to load the bases. Shade came home when Mifflin County’s Austin McKnight uncorked a wild pitch. That made it, 4-1.

One batter later, Felix Oquendo walked to force in Camden Fuller, a pinch-runner for Nonemaker.

The Wildcats made it 6-1 in the seventh as Nolan Karstetter singled and scored on another Mifflin County error.

The Huskies rallied with a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh. With one out, Ezra Beamer walked and Hartung singled. After Joel Beamer was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Ezra Beamer scored on a wild pitch. Hartung advanced to third on the play and came home when Liam Shaffer flew out.

Mifflin County couldn’t get any closer as Luke Shawver grounded out to end the ballgame. Both teams finished with six hits. Probst was the only repeat hitter for either side. Ezra Beamer scored twice for the Huskies as did Shade for the Wildcats.

Crownover suffered the loss, not allowing any earned runs and a hit and a walk in two innings. Dane Hanna earned the win, going five innings, striking out two and walking three.
