MILROY — Back on May 15, Reedsville edged Milroy, 2-1. It was much of the same on Tuesday as Reedsville again got by its rival, Milroy, 6-4.

The win for Reedsville kept pace with the league leader Beaver Springs in the Mifflin County Babe Ruth League. Beaver Springs, which beat Belltown, 10-5, is now 11-2, while Reedsville is a game behind at 10-3.

In that game in May, Jude Zook and Chase Krepps were both on the mound to end the game. Zook got the win in relief and Krepps went the distance for Milroy.

Most of the scoring on Tuesday was done in the first inning. Reedsville, the visiting team, scored three times in the first. Reedsville had three hits around two walks and a passed ball. Cam Kauffman and Jude Zook had base hits. Karter Kangy drew a walk to load the bases. Kauffman came home on a passed ball and then Anderson Bitner had a two-run single.

Milroy came right back in the bottom of the inning with four runs. Milroy only had one hit, a leadoff single from Kooper Walters. Milroy was issued five walks in the inning, four of them

in a row. Two runs came home on wild pitches and Gabe Clark collected an RBI with a bases-loaded walk. The fourth run scored on a Reedsville miscue.

From that point on it became a battle of pitchers. Jamieson Parkes, the Reedsville starter,

settled down and didn’t allow another run. Jude Zook then came in at the bottom of the fifth and got the save.

Milroy’s Walters went the first three innings before giving way to Chase Krepps.

Reedsville went ahead with two runs in the fifth on three hits and a Milroy error. Parkes had an RBI single to go along with base hits from Caden McClure and Zook. McClure had another single in the seventh and scored on a wild pitch.

The key moment in the game came in the bottom of the fifth. With one out, Andrew Toddes walked and Krepps had Milroy’s second hit. With runners on second and third, Cohen Ritchey hit a ball deep to right field, but the Reedsville rightfielder, Bronn Zook, saved the day with an over-the-shoulder catch.

Reedsville had eight hits with Parkes and Jude Zook each getting two. Milroy only had two hits.

BEAVER SPRINGS 10, BELLTOWN 5

BELLTOWN–Beaver Springs put up a nine spot in the second inning to hold off a red hot Belltown team, 10-5. Belltown had won four games in a row coming into the Springs game.

Belltown’s Luke Shawver shut down Springs’ bats over the last four innings in relief.

Beaver Springs is now on a four-game winning streak.
