Egypt falls in Biddy title game

Egypt Green shocked once beaten Bowmanstown Big Red Machine in the semifinals playoff pounding them by seven runs, something Catty didn't even do, but the Roughies rose to the occasion in a game that was closer than the final score appears, an 11-5 victory to capture the Central Whitehall League Biddy title.

The game was played at Stoney Ridge Park in Bowmanstown on Saturday, June 29.

The contest was tied 5-5 before Catty used big innings in the bottom of the fourth and fifth to pull away. In the fourth, Matt Ritter got things going with a double to center before a Dylan Hertzog single brought him home and a Jacob Nye single eventually scored Hertzog.

In the top of the fifth, Adam Reinhart made the defensive play of the game. A ball was hit to his left at short, he slid over to field it, slipped, but threw a bullet while on his backside to Troxell at first to record the second out of the inning.

In the bottom of the fifth, with a 7-5 lead, Catty added three more to put things away. Troxell started things with a walk before a Sebastian Arias single put runners on first and third. Reinhart followed with a huge three-run homer to make it 10-5.

Egypt grabbed a 1-0 lead on an RBI single by Luke Keppel which scored Will Chilcote, but Catty quickly jumped back on top 3-1. Ritter had a two-run single in the inning for Catty.

Egypt would take the lead 4-3 in the third on a two-run single by Connor Angelestein, but Catty again battle back and took the lead 5-4. This time it was Mason Hess who doubled to bring in two. But back came Egypt in the top of the fourth thanks to a Bryce Bashore double that made it 5-5 before Catty erupted.

Egypt was coached by Andy Bashore and assisted by Brian Chilcote and Jon Barto. Members of the team were: Connor Anglestein, Jake Barto, Braden Bashore, Bryce Bashore, Will Chilcote, Gavin Fasolka, Jace Graf, Gabe Guzy, Luke Keppel, Ethan Masenheimer, Christian Studdard, Quinn Wentling and Johnny Colon.
