Good morning, sports fans: 2 local teams win in Region 4 Legion baseball; check out No. 16 on Penn State's best list

Saturday belonged to Legion baseball. At least in Hanover.

Four teams from Lebanon, Cumberland and Dauphin counties are participating in the Region 4 tournament against other league champions.

So far, Cumberland County teams are coming out on top. League champion Hampden defeated Ephrata 7-2 behind a complete game from Christian McClure. He allowed five hits, one walk and three hit batters while striking out 11.

Derek Slagle, PennLive reporter David Bohr?s top performer for Saturday?s games, pitched eight shutout innings as Red Land routed McConnellsburg 9-0. Slagle struck out 10 batters, including six in a row from the first through third innings.

Things didn?t go as well for the Lebanon and Dauphin representatives.

Spring Grove played small ball for a three-run rally in the sixth inning to sneak past Campbelltown 5-4. Spring Grove?s reward is a 12:30 p.m. meeting today with Hampden.

Hershey jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but couldn?t hold onto it against host Hanover, which won 8-5. The York-Adams County champ will take on Red Land in the other winners? bracket semifinal at 4 p.m.

No. 16 for Penn State: One of the Nittany Lions? biggest players checks in at No. 16 on PennLive reporter Bob Flounders? list of the programs 25 most important players.

Right tackle Adam Gress is a 6-6, 317-pound senior who appeared in 12 games and made three starts last season. He is expected to replace Mike Farrell in the starting lineup this season.

Flounders says Gress made the list because it?s the offensive tackles? job to keep the new Nittany Lion quarterback safe as he learns coach Bill O?Brien?s diverse offense. He said the tackles ?typically face the most athletic pass rushers and Gress must hold down the right side.?
