RUTH FRY/The Luminary Senior members of the Muncy softball team gathered for a photo prior to their last home game against Southern Columbia. Lady Indians from left to right include Crystal Good, Natalie Lamoreaux, Emily Shnyder, Amanda Kustanbauter, Caitlin Dauberman, and Jordan Jones.

The Hughesville Spartan baseball team has swept the Lancers this season defeating them for the second time last Monday in 10 innings, 2-1. Brady Kimble hit a two-out walk-off single, and Tyler Mitcheltree and Justin Lambert combined on a two-hitter at a crowded Bodine Park. Hughesville is the first HAC-II team to sweep Loyalsock in the league’s six-season history.

Loyalsock’s Kyle Datres pitched a no-hitter into the sixth inning but Hughesville tied it in the sixth, 1-1. In the bottom of the tenth Sean Poust reached first base after a third strike was called when the ball got away from the catcher. Tyler Mitcheltree was then intentionally walked and with runners on first and second, Kimble lined an inside pitch into center field scoring Poust.
