Today in local baseball: June 20, 2017

Everything you missed from local baseball — including the Centre County League and American Legion — from June 20, 2017:

Clarence Mounties shut out Philipsburg

PHILIPSBURG Justin Taylor’s complete game shutout led the way as the Clarence Mounties defeated the Philipsburg Pirates 6-0 Tuesday night in a Centre County Baseball League game.

Taylor gave up only four hits, while striking out eight and walking five.

Brian Kochik stepped up at the plate for the Mounties with a double and three RBIs. Nate Kerlin was the lone Pirate who had an extra base hit with a double.

Carl leads Beech Creek past Bellefonte

BEECH CREEK Toner Carl set the tone on the mound and at the plate — and did just enough to help Beech Creek win 1-0 over Bellefonte Tuesday in a Central Penn League game.

As the pitcher, Carl allowed one hit in the shutout. At the plate, he had two singles and drove in his team’s only run.

Bellefonte’s Adam Armstrong also pitched well in the loss and allowed just four hits.

Beech Creek is now 8-2 this season, while Bellefonte drops to 5-3. Bellefonte will look to rebound on Thursday when it hosts Mifflin County.
