Chambersburg coach Scott Folmar said, "Joey's had mostly good outings all year, but today's game was probably as good as any of our guys have thrown that I can remember. He started by giving up back-to-back hits, but after that he controlled the game. He just pounded the strike zone — the only walk he gave up was with two outs in the seventh."

The Trojans (6-12, 4-10 MPC) scored a run in the second inning, then added 2 insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings against Central Dauphin (11-7, 8-5 MPC).

In the second, Diaz singled and Chase Stenger walked, and with two outs, Aaron Vasquez hit an RBI base hit.

Evan Brown led off the fifth with a double to left and moved up on a fly ball by Ceagan Truett. After a walk to Tyler Brechbiel, Jake Folmar bunted, and on the play at the plate, Brown scored. With two outs, Chase Stenger produced a base hit to make the score 3-0.

In the sixth, Vasquez led off with a walk and moved to third on an error on a fly ball hit by Truett. Brechbiel lofted a sacrifice fly to center to score Vasquez and a two-out single by Folmar scored the final run.

"The offense got some two-out RBI hits that we haven't been able to get most of the year," coach Folmar said. "Those made a big difference and enabled Joey to pitch with a bigger lead."

The Trojans play at Shippensburg on Tuesday in their final game of the season. The suspended game vs. Waynesboro, in which Chambersburg led 5-0 in the top of the fifth inning, will not be finished because both teams had games Monday and will play Tuesday, and Tuesday is the cutoff date for district qualifying.
