    Campbelltown Repels Lancaster County Invaders to Earn Title

     BY JEFF FALK  PALMYRA – Campbelltown didn’t set out to defend the honor of local summer baseball. It wasn’t a goal, or anything like that.  But quite uninentionally, by playing for itself, Campbelltown also represented Lebanon County very well.  On a steamy Monday night at In The Net Sports Complex, Campbelltown captured the championship of […]

    Campbelltown’s Coming in Hot

     BY JEFF FALK  PALMYRA – Which is more important – more meaningful – an opportunity to play for a Lebanon County American Legion baseball league championship or a trip to the eight-team, double-elimination Region Four tournament? Let’s just say Campbelltown is going to have its cake and eat it too.  On a steamy Friday night […]

    For Bill Massar, Jr., Age is Just a Number

     BY JEFF FALK   NORTH LEBANON – Like a fine vintage. Bill Massar, Jr. gets better with age. OK, that might be a little bit of a stretch.  But Massar does continue to age gracefully.  On a warm Friday, at Pine Meadows Golf Course’s 5,734-yard, par-72 layout, Massar added another notch to his stellar career […]

    Fredericksburg’s Putting it All Together at Right Time

     BY JEFF FALK  ANNVILLE – Catch a couple breaks.   Gain a little confidence.   Start believing.   Pick up some momentum.  And anything can happen.  Fredericksburg is playing its best baseball of the summer. Post 915 has gotten hot at the right time.  On a humid Friday night at Annville-Cleona High School, Fredericksburg pummeled Annville […]

  • “Who had the best record in the league this year? We did. We split with them in the regular season. It makes you better when you play good teams. A lot of coaches aren’t happy about it. I know Ephrata is a quality team, just like ours. They have good players. I’ll take it.”

    – Campbelltown Skipper Tim Morgan

  • “Right now, my game is almost as good as it ever was. I think I hit my driver now better than I ever have. I was a really good scrambler back then. When I started, I hit irons and greens, but I forgot how to chip.”

    – County Senior Amateur Champ Billy Massar, Jr.

  • ” We’ve not been out of many games. I think we’ve lost five games by one run. They’re better than they’ve played. They just have to believe. We’ve gotten a little more intensity from our top players. We still don’t have that leader. But that’s OK, because we play as a team.”

    – Fredericksburg Manager Tim Schaeffer
