内沙诺克在传奇垒球对抗的最新篇章中再次拥有劳雷尔的号码

尽管内沙诺克在过去三年里赢下了县对手劳雷尔的前九场比赛，但两支球队都知道周一的 PIAA 2A 级垒球半决赛的结果将是一个硬币翻转。

Neshannock and Laurel met again in the PIAA Class 2A softball semifinals on Monday at Mohawk High School.

周一，内沙诺克和劳雷尔在莫霍克高中举行的 PIAA 2A 级垒球半决赛中再次相遇。

Both teams knew the result of the game would be close, but maybe not in the way they expected.

两队都知道比赛结果会很接近，但可能不会像他们预期的那样。

After losing the pregame coin flip, Neshannock scored the only run of the game in the top of the first inning to defeat Laurel, 1-0.

赛前抛硬币失败后，内沙诺克在第一局上半打出全场唯一一分，以1-0击败劳雷尔。

The Lancers advance to the PIAA Class 2A championship game for the second time in the last three seasons. Neshannock also defeated Laurel in the 2022 PIAA semifinals.

枪骑兵队在过去三个赛季中第二次晋级 PIAA 2A 级冠军赛。内沙诺克还在 2022 年 PIAA 半决赛中击败了劳雷尔。

Neshannock will face South Williamsport in the state championship game on Friday morning at Penn State’s Beard Field.

内沙诺克队将于周五早上在宾夕法尼亚州立大学胡子球场对阵南威廉姆斯波特队的州冠军赛。

On a mild, cloudy day, a steady drizzle began to fall as the teams went out for pregame warmups. The slick, all-turf field played to Neshannock’s advantage as the Lancers struck immediately in their first at-bat.

在一个温和的多云天气里，当球队进行赛前热身时，开始下起毛毛细雨。当枪骑兵队在第一次击球时立即击球时，光滑的全草坪球场对内沙诺克发挥了优势。

Miley Anderson bunted and reached on an error to lead off the game. She was sacrificed to second by Jaidon Nogay, stole third on a ball in the dirt and scored on a hard-hit ball by Addy Frye that was ruled an error.

麦莉·安德森 (Miley Anderson) 击球并出现失误，为比赛取得领先。她被杰登·诺盖 (Jaidon Nogay) 牺牲，获得第二名，在泥土中偷球获得第三名，并由阿迪·弗莱 (Addy Frye) 大力击球得分，但被判定为失误。

“It’s such a tough feeling,” Neshannock coach Jackie Lash said, “thinking we have to go into this game with the toughest opponent knowing that they are going to get that last chance at bat. So whenever Miley got on base, I was feeling a little bit better right then.

“这种感觉非常艰难，”内沙诺克队教练杰基·拉什说道，“我们必须与最强悍的对手进行这场比赛，因为我们知道他们将获得最后的击球机会。所以每当麦莉上垒时，我就会感觉好一点。

“You have to score first against a team like this, and thankfully we did.”

“面对这样的球队，你必须首先进球，值得庆幸的是我们做到了。”

That unearned run proved to be enough for Frye in the circle. The junior had 12 strikeouts in the one-hit shutout. It was the third consecutive game in the state playoffs that Frye allowed just one hit.

事实证明，那场不劳而获的跑动对于弗莱来说已经足够了。这位大三学生在一安打绝杀中获得了 12 次三振。这是弗莱在州季后赛中连续第三场比赛仅失一安打。

“My backdoor curve was working really well,” Frye said. “At the beginning of the game, my fastball wasn’t working, but towards the end, I fixed it and it started to work for me. I noticed I was slipping a little bit (in the first inning), so I had to go and make an adjustment.”

“我的后门曲线效果非常好，”弗莱说。 “在比赛开始时，我的快球不起作用，但到了最后，我修复了它，它开始对我起作用。我注意到自己有点下滑（第一局），所以我必须去做出调整。”

The elements played a role in the first couple of innings as Frye and Laurel ace Autumn Boyd went back and forth throughout the contest. Both teams had issues in the first inning, but improved as the rain subsided.

这些因素在前几局中发挥了作用，弗莱和劳雷尔王牌奥特姆·博伊德在整个比赛中来来回回。两支球队在第一局都遇到了问题，但随着雨势减弱，情况有所改善。

“I fully believe the wet turf got us in the first inning,” Laurel coach Frank Duddy said. “That’s the breaks. It is what it is. It’s just a shame that your whole season comes down to one run. We just didn’t hit. We’ve been pounding the ball lately, but we couldn’t get it done today.”

“我完全相信湿草坪让我们在第一局获胜，”劳雷尔教练弗兰克·达迪说。 “这就是休息时间。就是这样。遗憾的是你的整个赛季都只剩下一场比赛了。我们只是没打。我们最近一直在努力，但今天没能完成。”

Laurel’s best chance of the game to score came in the home half of the first inning. Ivy Pancher led off with a walk, and Addie Deal was hit by a pitch. It was the only time the Spartans had multiple runners on base. However, Boyd lined out on a comebacker to the pitcher, and Frye got Riley Balcom to strike out to end the threat.

劳雷尔本场比赛最好的得分机会出现在第一局的主场半场。艾维·潘彻（Ivy Pancher）率先保送，艾迪·迪尔（Addie Deal）被投球击中。这是斯巴达人队唯一一次有多名跑垒员上垒。然而，博伊德对投手进行了反击，弗莱让莱利·巴尔科姆出局，结束了威胁。

“We set the table. We just can’t push them across,” Duddy said. “That seems to be the story every time we play Neshannock. We can’t get that hit when we need it.”

“我们布置好桌子。我们就是不能把他们推过去，”达迪说。 “每次我们玩《内沙诺克》时，这似乎都是故事。当我们需要的时候，我们却无法得到这种打击。”

Frye, a Providence commit, went over 200 strikeouts for the season in the game after surpassing 500 career strikeouts earlier in the postseason. After the two in the first, the only Spartan baserunners were from a Pancher single in the third and a Deal two-out walk in the sixth.

弗莱来自普罗维登斯，他在季后赛早些时候超过了 500 次职业三振，本赛季在比赛中三振次数超过 200 次。继第一场比赛的两场比赛之后，唯一的斯巴达跑垒员来自第三场潘彻的一垒安打和第六场迪尔的二垒安打。

Boyd finished with a four-hitter of her own, giving up only the unearned run in the first inning.

博伊德以四安打结束比赛，只在第一局放弃了不劳而获的一分。

“The story is offense,” Duddy said. “Autumn (Boyd) did a fantastic job in the circle, like she always does. She keeps us in it. She gives us a chance to win. I think we let her down a little bit.”

“这个故事很冒犯，”达迪说。 “奥特姆（博伊德）在圈子里做得非常出色，就像她一直做的那样。她让我们深陷其中。她给了我们获胜的机会。我想我们让她有点失望了。”

“To me, these are the top two teams in the state, and it starts with the pitching that each of us have,” Lash said. “Autumn (Boyd) kept us off balance. Every time we had an opportunity, she was able to shut it down. I think she is one of the best.”

“对我来说，这是该州最好的两支球队，这始于我们每个人的投球能力，”拉什说。 “秋天（博伊德）让我们失去了平衡。每当我们有机会时，她都能将其关闭。我认为她是最好的之一。”

Neshannock has now won 73 of its last 74 games. Its only loss in the last three years came in the PIAA semifinals a year ago, a 9-6 defeat to eventual state champion Everett. The loss has been a motivating factor for the Lancers over the past year, with celebrations muted throughout the year after victories. But with the early morning weather similar to the dreary day in DuBois a year ago, Frye and her teammates vowed to ensure the result would be different.

内沙诺克在过去 74 场比赛中赢了 73 场。它在过去三年中唯一的失利是在一年前的 PIAA 半决赛中，以 9-6 输给了最终的州冠军埃弗雷特。在过去的一年里，这场失利一直是枪骑兵队的一个激励因素，胜利后的庆祝活动全年都很平静。但由于清晨的天气与一年前杜波依斯沉闷的一天相似，弗莱和她的队友发誓要确保结果会有所不同。

“None of us wanted to feel that again this year

“今年我们谁都不想再有这种感觉
