Warren Boys Majors ousted; Minors back in action today

Due to rain on Wednesday, the Warren field hosted a doubleheader on Thursday with the Warren Girls minors first followed by the Boys Majors’ night game between Brockway and Warren.

The excitement ended with Brock Yale’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Yale also helped send the game to extra innings in Brockway’s three-run bottom of the fifth to tie the game at 6-6.

Brockway won the coin toss and the last at bats proved to be the difference.
