by Adam Gegg · Published · Updated
On this brisk Wednesday afternoon, the Manheim Township JV team took the field for the first time this season and came away with a 1-0 victory in a tight match-up with their neighbors to the north. Township had some life in the early innings thanks to a lead off double from newcomer Ryan Flury in the top of the 2nd. Jesus Perez was sent in to pinch run before Fisher Druck earned a walk to put men on 1st and 2nd. The Blue Streaks loaded the bases on an infield error off a JT Weaver ground ball before Max Proulx earned his first RBI in a JV uniform with a bases-loaded walk to score Perez.

Township's offense didn't need to do much more on the day as starting pitcher Dylan King (right) held the Warriors scoreless in his 4 2/3 innings on the mound. King was in control much of the day racking up 8 strikeouts and allowing 0 hits in his first start of the year. Weaver replaced King on the mound in the 5th inning and closed out the final two innings in style. Warwick picked up their only hit on the day in the 6th inning as they tried to mount a comeback, but Weaver kept them quiet when it mattered most.
