Tyler Callihan pitched a four-hit shutout with nine strikeouts and added two singles and three RBI to lead the Karns City baseball team to a 10-0, six-inning victory over Redbank Valley Tuesday.

Jim Jaskowak hit a three-run home run and also pitched two perfect innings as Grove City opened its season with a 10-1 win over Oil City.

Sophomore left-hander Bob Revesz struck out six and walked just one in five innings of work to pick up the victory for the Eagles, who will fly to Orlando, Fla., for a three-day tournament starting Thursday.

Mark Lucas scored the game's winning run on an error in the bottom of the sixth inning as Mars outlasted Burrell, 9-8.

Lucas added two singles in the win.
