Jenkins Twp. ends BMT American's playott dreams By LEN KRYESKI Sports Writer DALLAS TOWNSHIP - Jenkins Township dumped the Back Mountain American Major League All-Stars 9-2 behind the one-hit pitching of Paul Migliorino Mon- day night at W.W. Kubis Field. It was the second consecutive loss for the Americans, thereby elimi- nating them from further compe- tition in the boys’ District 16 Little League tournament. Back Mountain hurler Luke Miller teamed up with his coun- terpart to treat spectators to an outstanding pitching duel through the first four innings. Going into the fifth Miller al- lowed just three hits while 21 of his 35 pitches went for strikes. Nine of the 13 batters he faced during that span saw a strike on the first pitch. Two of the three hits were erased by some fine defense as the Americans turned double plays in both the first and second innings. With a runner on first, short- stop Bob Gebhardt fielded a one- hopper up the middle tagging sec- ond and throwing out Migliorino in the first. First baseman Tim Faneck caught ashot off the bat of Vince DePalma and doubled-up a stunned Dave Troynacki by beat- ing him back to the bag in the second. Troynacki got revenge by open- ing the fifth with a double down the third base line. Two batlers later he scored the game's first run when Chris Semenza singled up the middle. Jenkins sent 10 men lo the plate during the in- ning, scoring six runs on four hits and two walks. The victors added three un- earned runs in sixth on an error, two infield singles and a double off the bat of Randy Deeble. After the double by Deeble, manager Joe Kerestes lifted Miller in favor of Sean Whalen. The southpaw needed just two pitches toretire the side, getting Migliorino on a {ly to center. The left-handed (twirling Migliorino didn't prove to be as fast as the billing he received prior to the game, but his 59" frame provided quite a stride that fooled a few Back Mountain hitters into swinging late. The Americans avoided a shut- out by scoring two runs in the last half of the sixth. A couple of pinch-hitters opened the inning by reaching base. Jim Jordan drew a walk before Dave Lohin broke the no-hit bid with a single toright. Faneck loaded the bases by drawing a walk. One out later, Mike Fehlinger forced home arun after getting hit in the left foot. Billy Evans drove home Lohin by hitting into a field- ers choice. Awalk to Ed Krasniak loaded the bases before Migliorino fanned pinch-hitter Adam Tkaczyk on three pitches. Back Mountain squandered a scoring opportunity in the sec- ond. The Americans stranded Evans after he reached third base with one out. Evans opened the inning by reaching on a wild throw by third sacker DePalma; the mis- hap resulted in a two base error. Krasniak advanced his teammate to third with a long fly out to center, but the Americans couldn't cash in. Jenkins reached Miller for 10 hits. He struck out three and walked just two, but both of the free passes were costly coming during Jenkins fifth inning upris- ing. Braves top Duryea 12-8 for Junior League title The Back Mt.
