The right-hander struck out five and was named the Wright Automotive Player of the Game by the North Allegheny Sports Network.

NA added a third and final run in the fourth inning courtesy of an RBI groundout by Blake Young for a 3-0 advantage. Seneca Valley starter Shane Hepner, who was making his return from an injury sustained during the ice hockey season, took the loss with two runs allowed in three innings on the bump.
