Coudersport falls 5-4 in baseball playoffs

Coudersport's hopes of a PIAA District 9 high school baseball championship were dashed in an extra-inning defeat Friday night.

Keystone plated the game-winner on a solo homer into the top of the eighth and held off a Falcon uprising to come away with a 5-4 win.

"It was a well-fought game," said Coudersport coach Doug McClintic, whose team finished at 13-2.

Trailing 3-0, Coudersport scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead. Keystone tied things 4-4 in the seventh.

Brian Wetzel worked the first seven innings on the mount. Brett Whitman pitched the eighth.

Eric Babcock, Derek Burdick and Colton Corey had multiple hits for the Falcons.
