The Elba Varsity Lancers celebrated Senior Day with a decisive 5-2 triumph over Jasper-Troupsburg, a performance that underscored the team’s depth and poise under pressure.
Offensive surge
Mark Caparco opened the scoring with a groundout that brought home a run in the first inning, while Fletcher Norton doubled to center field in the second, driving in two more to push the lead to 2-0. Brendan Porey added his own RBI double down the left‑field line, and a wild pitch in the third inning allowed an unearned run to cross, extending Elba’s advantage to 4-2.
Pitching mastery
Starter Mark Caparco handled three innings on the mound, surrendering only two hits and two runs while keeping the opposition at bay. Reliever Brendan Porey then shut the door with two scoreless frames, striking out three batters and preserving the lead.
Defensive solidity
Norton’s presence was felt on both sides of the ball; he logged a team‑high nine defensive plays and helped the Lancers finish the game without a single error. The squad also stole four bases, adding a dynamic element to their attack.
Looking ahead
Elba is slated to host the Alexander Varsity Trojans next Saturday, a matchup that promises another test of the Lancers’ growing chemistry and depth.
