As the state comes together for this milestone event, players from across Pennsylvania will take the field wearing their school colors one final time. For District 2, the showcase carries added pride with six seniors earning selections: Nick Ledger (Hazleton Area), Silvio Giardina (Pittston Area), Max Forgione (Dunmore), and Thomas LaCoe (Abington Heights) headline the group, representing a region that continues to produce top-tier baseball talent. Their inclusion is not just a reward—it’s a reflection of the consistent excellence cultivated in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
In the end, it was a complete team effort that secured the championship for the undefeated Red Barons—stellar pitching, timely hitting, sharp defense, and relentless base running all played their part in crowning them league champions.
A key second-inning surge proved to be the difference-maker as Mount Carmel plated two runs early to grab momentum. They added an insurance run in the fourth, and while the Eagles managed a lone tally in the third, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Red Tornadoes’ defensive sharpness and timely hitting.
A five-run fifth inning proved to be the difference as Palmyra used timely hitting and flawless defense to defeat Pittston 7–3 on Monday in playoff action.
In a tightly contested battle between two strong arms, Pittston’s Elijah Barr delivered a complete-game gem while his teammates made the most of limited opportunities to seal a 3-1 win over Abington Heights.
