“If we didn’t make a couple of mistakes, the game’s probably two-two,” said Sauley. “You can’t make mistakes. Walks and errors killed us tonight.

 “There’s a small margin for error for us every night,” added Sauley. “But our pitching has been pretty solid.”

  Campbelltown upped its lead to 4-0, after loading the bases with nobody out in the top of the fourth. Miller and Binner contributed RBIs, but the key play in the rally may have been Brian Coburn’s bunt single.

 “We should’ve scored a lot more runs,” said Morgan. “You can’t keep leaving guys on base. You’ve got to take advantage of it.

 “Annville’s tough,” Morgan added. “They’re always tough. If we didn’t have a guy (Dubbs) who can throw strikes, we’d be in trouble. You just never know. You’ve got to show up and play.”

 “He just turned 15,” said Sauley of Good. “He got up to 69 pitches. It was four-to-nothing, and I thought, ‘I’m going to yank him.’ I didn’t feel like the way we were hitting, we were going to score a lot of runs.”

  Over his first four innings of work, Dubbs only yielded a Josh Speraw single. But Annville got to him for two runs in the bottom of the fourth, to make it a 4-2 score.

 The big blow – a two-out, two-run single – came from Alec Santiago. It came after Noah Pfautz had walked and Cameron Freeman had singled.

 Dubbs gave way to reliever Shughart to start the bottom of the sixth, but not after fanning seven, walking three and surrendering three hits. Dubbs registered the win and Shughart recorded a save.

 “To be honest, it was a battle out there,” said Morgan. “Dubbs was sliding all over the mound. He pitched from behind in the count and battled through. I thought Shug’ came in and did a great job.”

 “It’s hard to gauge for us,” said Sauley of Dubbs’ effectiveness. “We’re not a good hitting team. It’s just the way it is. He pitched pretty good, but he was just throwing fastballs. The top of our lineup is where we do our damage. But we’re struggling down below.”

 C-town plated its final run in the top of the seventh. Baal stroked his fourth hit of the game, Jake Wagner sacrificed him to second and Thomas Zeigler came off the bench to scorch a pinch-hit. RBI-double.

 “It’s nice to have some time to get ready for the playoffs,” said Morgan. “What we’re going to do is start some other kids and give them a chance to play. We’re going to have fun. We want to get some rest for the playoffs. We want to win one or two more games, rest and get some other kids playing time.”
