Bedford Ends Brookville’s Season in D5-9 Baseball Subregional


PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (D9Sports) — Dylan Arnold scattered four hits over five innings and Bedford’s four-run third inning was the difference in a 6-3 win over Brookville in their District 5/9 Sub-Regional Class 3A final at Kuntz Field Wednesday.

More hard rain earlier in the afternoon threatened to swamp the field, but after a 75-minute delay, things got going and it was Arnold who set the tone.

The left-handed senior retired nine of the first 11 batters he faced while he helped his team post the four-spot in the third.

With one out, Drew Hall worked Raiders starter for a walk. Jared Dowey singled and Nate Semanek doubled in Hall for the game’s first run. Arnold walked and Dowey scored from third on a wild pitch. After a second out, Jesse Arnold singled in two more runs for the 4-0 lead.

In the fourth, the Bisons went up 6-0 when a misplayed bunt led to two unearned runs.

The Raiders scored first in the fourth inning when Park singled to break up Arnold’s no-hitter and advanced to third when the ball was misplayed in the outfield. Brady Caylor singled him in.

Against Dowey in the seventh, the Raiders made things interesting by scoring twice, Hunter Roney leading off with a single and scoring on Park’s forceout grounder and Dane Lyle coming home on Caylor’s second RBI single of the game.

But Dowey finished off the win and secured Bedford’s trip to the state playoffs by getting the would-be tying run Tanner LaBenne to ground out to first to end the game.

Park took the loss for the Raiders, going six innings and giving up six hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

Bedford (12-8) makes its first trip to states since 2014 while the Raiders’ season finished at 11-9.
