Adam Erkis drove in the winning run with a single in the top of the 9th inning and Sean Corelli pitched the final 2 1/3 innings in Radnor's first District 1 playoff win as a AAAA school in baseball.

Adam pitched a very good game allowing only 3 earned runs over 6 2/3 innings in the 8 - 7 win.  He also had 3 hits.  Connor Wilson had 3 hits and 2 RBIs and Ben Cohen had a excellent day at the plate with 3 hits, 1 RBI and a stolen base.  

With Radnor down 7 - 5 in the sixth inning, Billy Greenfield came up to the plate with 2 outs and runners on first and third.  He hit the first pitch for a clutch single to drive in James Lofton and then Connor Wilson also delivered with a game tying single.  Both teams failed to score until the top of the ninth when Adam came through with what proved to be the game winning hit.

Next up for Radnor is the third meeting with Strath Haven.

Radnor beat Plymouth Whitemarsh 6 - 4 in 10 innings in a non-league contest.  Andrew Austen pitched 4 scoreless innings to get his first varsity win.  Andrew, a freshman, did not allow a hit, striking out 3 with only 1 walk.  Tom Austen made several nice catches at first base erasing potential hits while Andrew was pitching.

Sean Corelli had 2 hits and 3 RBI and Ellis Schaefer had what proved to be the game-winning RBI with a double in the 10th inning.

Radnor will open the District 1 playoffs at Cheltenham on Monday, May 20th at 4pm.  The winner of this game plays at Strath Haven Wednesday, May 22nd.  The winner of that game plays on Friday for a berth into the PIAA state tournament (the top 4 District 1 teams make it into the State tournament).

Ellis Schaefer had a clean single in the first inning to drive in Radnor's first run, Terrance Quinn had a productive ground out to drive in Radnor's second run and Billy plated Sean Corelli with the eventual game winner on a hard line drive to left field in the 5th.

Terrance Quinn had a nice game behind the plate throwing out 2 runners trying to steal second.
