            On Monday, Benjamin Godshall pitched the defending state champion Braves to a 9-2 win over the Boyertown Bear Cubs at Bonekemper Field. He tossed six innings, allowing just one earned run and one walk while striking out three.

            Liam Weiss paced a six-hit barrage with two singles and two RBIs. Grayson Sabo delivered two hits, while Nathan Schramm drove in two runs for the Upper Perk, which took advantage of four errors by the visiting Bear Cubs.

            Leadoff hitter Benjamin Sands registered three of the team's five stolen bases and scored three runs. Callen Shantz added an RBI double for the Braves, who extended an early 1-0 lead with a five-run rally in the bottom of the third inning.

            On Saturday, June 8, the Braves (10-4) rolled to an 11-1 road victory over Twin Valley. Grayson Sabo and Liam Weiss led them to the Berks County League six-inning win.

            Sabo finished with three RBIs while going 2-for-2 at the plate. He also scored two runs.

            Besides driving in five runs on three hits, including a triple, Sabo also went the distance on the mound. He scattered three hits and permitted just one unearned run while striking out seven.
