DUBOIS — Monday’s local baseball action saw three match-ups, including two between area teams, with DuBois, Punxsy and Elk County Catholic picking up victories.

The Beavers hosted Bradford, and after scoring seven first-inning runs, they powered their way to an 11-0, five-inning mercy-rule victory over the Owls to improve to 6-0 on the season.

In that big first inning — a double by Trey Wingard and singles by Noah Farrell and Mason Dinkfelt, but those were the only hits they’d need, as Bradford walked three batters and hit two others to propel the scoring, which was capped by a Wingard sacrifice fly in hit second at-bat of the frame.

Carter Genevro and Jack Statler combined for the five-inning shutout, with Genevro pitching the first four innings and allowing five hits while striking out nine. In one inning of relief, Statler allowed one hit.

Wingard was the only Beavers player to record an extra-base hit with his first-inning double, but Madix Clark, Farrell and Samson Deeb all tallied two hits. Deeb also drove in three runs.

In other baseball action from Monday:

PUNXSY 4,

ST. MARYS 0

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Chucks baseball team also did all of its scoring early, as the Chucks scored one in the first, then three in the third to take a 4-0 lead, then kept the Dutchmen of St. Marys off the board for all seven frames to win by the same score.

Punxsy got its first run without recording a hit, as Maddox Hetrick walked to lead off the home half of the first, advanced to second on a passed ball, then tagged to third on a Nevin Day flyout and scored on a sac fly by Parker Stahlman.

In the second, the Chucks added two insurance runs courtesy of a lead off single by Max Burkett, a one-out single by Scout Ryen, a wild pitch, and a two-run single by Hetrick.

Hetrick’s statline included tallies in each box category — one hit, one run scored, one RBI — and Nolan Stahlman and Burkett each had two hits.

Burkett and Nolan Stahlman each worked three innings, with the only hit between them being allowed by Burkett, who walked just one, and Hetrick closed things out with a scoreless seventh.

St. Marys’ two hits were recorded by Tysen Beimel and Mason Nicklas.

Punxsy improved to the .500 mark at 3-3 with the win, while St. Marys fell below it to 2-3.

ELK COUNTY CATHOLIC 15, BROCKWAY 5, 5 INNINGS

ST. MARYS — After getting to Brockway for 10 runs in the bottom of the first inning, the Elk County Catholic baseball squad was able to coast to a 15-5, five-inning victory at home on Monday afternoon.

ECC also scored in every at-bat — one run in the second and third innings and three in the fourth — while the Rovers scored in four different frames, though no more than two runs in any inning and that only once in the fourth.

Doubles ruled the day for both teams, as Brady Leathers, Charlie Geci, Frankie Smith and Gideon Cronk all belted one for ECC, while Ben Yale and Zayden Faith did the same for the Rovers.

Leathers, Geci and Smith each added a single, as well, for two-hit days, and Paxton Herzing added a pair of singles for the Crusaders. Smith drove in three runs to lead the team in that category.

ECC used a pitching by committee approach despite being in control, with Matthew Gilmore getting the start and working two innings, allowing just one run. Landon Smith and Leathers worked in relief to close it out.

Yale added a single to go with his double, and Ben Bash also had two hits, with both of them driving in two runs.

ECC improved to 2-0 with the win and returns to action Wednesday at Kane, while Brockway (3-4) hosts Karns City that same day.
