Indiana fought hard against a stout East Pennsboro team Thursday afternoon, but a late rally and walk-off walk propelled the Indians to a 6-5 win and the PIAA semifinals.
Jake Slebodnick has the story.
Coach Dan Petroff credited his whole team with fighting back.
Petroff said he knew his team would make it this far since the beginning of the year.
Petroff said he knew Mark Collinger could walk it off.
Collinger talked about the winning moment.
Ryan Okopal earned the win after throwing 1.2 shutout innings. He was on the mound during last year’s quarterfinal game and he said they were glad to get revenge at The Mount.
Hunter Martin tied the game at five with a single in the sixth. He said the team rallied around each other.
Tristan Redinger said the team is full of confidence.
Indiana will face either Montour or Fleetwood in one semifinal game on Monday. The other will feature the winners of Conwell-Egan/Danville and Dallas/Holy Ghost Prep.
