CARMICHAELS, Pa. — A day after Gavin Pratt downed Potomac Valley in a two-hit shutout, Carmichaels’ Matt Bamford nearly repeated the feat.
Bamford held the Mudcats to three hits across seven scoreless innings, as the Copperheads defeated Potomac Valley, 2-0, on Thursday at Carmichaels Area High to improve to 2-0 in the best-of-five Fayette County Baseball League championship series.
