Local roundup: Jersey Shore softball beats South 17-4

Mya Lehman turned South Williamsport’s softball field into her own personal launching pad and put together one of the most dominant offensive performances in Jersey Shore softball history Friday afternoon. Lehman walloped three home runs, including a first inning grand slam, and drove in eight runs as Jersey Shore won, 17-4 in five innings.

Lehman went 3 for 3 and also walked as the Bulldogs (5-2) erupted for 13 runs in the first two innings. Amelia Thomas also had a strong day, delivering three hits and two RBIs. Lynna Clark doubled twice and scored twice, while Annika Clark also had two hits and two RBIs. Mikaiya Hills and Maddie Pinkerton each had two hits for South, Pinkerton driving in two runs. Emma McLaughlin played super defense at third base and had a hit and a run.

• Mason Winter delivered two hits and drove in three runs, helping Jersey Shore defeat Selinsgrove, 6-3. Carter Rhinehart also had two hits, scoring three times and adding a RBI. Nolen Pauling doubled and scored twice and Tucker Hanna had a hit, RBI and walk. Pauling earned his third win on the mound before Hayden Kelley and Landon Lathan threw well in relief.

• Keiva Middleton and Talia Ross limited Millersville to one run over 14 innings to lead the Lock Haven softball team to a 2-1, 2-0 sweep in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division doubleheader.

Lock Haven 19-13 overall and 9-7 in the PSAC East. Millersville moves to 17-15 on the season and 7-9 in the conference.

Lock Haven continues to roll and have now won eight of their nine games to vaul right into the heart of the PSAC postseason chase. Depending on today’s action around the conference, the Bald Eagles could jump into a tie for third and just one game out of first.

• Lock Haven basketball student-athletes Rhlyn Rouse (women’s basketball) and Blake Deegan (men’s basketball) were named to the Winter Academic All-Conference team when the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced the latest awardees for its newest academic honor.

• Alannah Irwin represented the Lock Haven women’s track and field team at the Susquehanna Multi. Irwin took ninth in the Maroon Division by finishing with 3,047 points.

Irwin’s weekend was highlighted by a fourth-place finish in the javelin. Irwin reached a mark of 83 feet, 6 inches.

Irwin took fifth in the 200 and crossed the finish line in 28.43. She also earned a fifth-place finish in the long jump by reaching 15-8 3/4.

On the men’s side, Jersey Shore graduate Nick Bellomo took ninth in the Orange Division by finishing with 6,407 points for Lock Haven.

Bellomo’s weekend was highlighted by a second-place finish in the pole vault. Bellomo cleared a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship qualifying mark of 14-5 1/4.
