Bream's late heroics help Seneca Valley eclipse Moon

Butler's Walter Santa prepares to block the ball, but it goes into the net instead during Thursday's match with North Allegheny. The Tigers beat the Golden Tornado 3-0.

Tyler Bream smacked a two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Seneca Valley baseball team a 3-2 victory over Moon Thursday.

Cory Mazzoni pitched three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win, striking out seven batters.

In other games:

• Dustin Uhlman doubled three times as Butler outscored Blackhawk, 12-10. Greg Hays pitched 2 2/3 innings with three strikeouts for the win.

• J.P. Samay struck out seven in five innings to lead Freeport to a 7-4 win over Leechburg.

• Bob Revesz fanned 10 batters in four innings, and Ross Trinch doubled and homered to lift Grove City to a 7-0 win over Neshannock.

• D.J. Cannon managed nine strikeouts in Mars' 15-0, four-inning drubbing of Riverview.

• Moniteau scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to tie West Shamokin, then tacked on six more in the sixth inning to post a 10-4 triumph.
