Baseball: Hatboro-Horsham Defeats Pennridge

Prendergast led off the sixth inning with a single and stole second. He scored on an RBI double by Brad Humski. Humski advanced to third on a single by senior Grant Opalisky. Kevin Barron's sacrifice fly scored Humski. Kelly's double then scored Opalisky and Chris Naiberk who reached via a walk. Kelly then scored on a single by Eric Thomas. Prendergast worked a 1-2-3 seventh inning to secure the 5-1 win for the Hatters.
