Back Mountain captured the District 31 Minor Baseball championship on Tuesday, routing Greater Wyoming Area 13‑0 in a game that showcased both pitching dominance and a potent bat lineup in West Pittston, Pennsylvania.
A Dominant Performance
Ben Borkowski delivered a five‑inning no‑hitter, scattering five perfect innings and keeping the opposition hitless.
The Back Mountain offense erupted for 13 runs on 12 hits, a barrage that left the opposition's defense scrambling.
Andrew Hetro led the hitting attack with three knocks and three RBI, while Jase Burridge and Borkowski each added two RBI to the tally. Cael Sweigart and Sawyer Benavage also drove in runs, underscoring the depth of the lineup.
With the victory, Back Mountain advances to the Section 5 Minor Baseball tournament slated to begin on July 18, where they will meet teams coordinated by Valley East Little League, the organization that captured the District 16 championship.
Greater Wyoming Area closes its All‑Star season at 3‑1, and will watch from the sidelines as Back Mountain prepares for the upcoming tournament.
