In a tightly contested District 3 Class 6A quarterfinal, the 11th‑seeded Muhlenberg Mustangs rallied in the third inning to secure a 10‑6 victory over third‑seeded Waynesboro.
Grand Slam Sparks Mustangs' Surge
Cole Moody’s grand slam ignited the offense, while Ryan Rosenberry’s four‑inning outing with five strikeouts anchored the pitching staff. Carter Burr contributed two RBIs and Aiden Bonte added a pair of hits, highlighting a balanced attack that overwhelmed the opposition.
The win marks Muhlenberg’s second upset of a higher‑seeded opponent, propelling them into the semifinals where they will meet second‑seeded Ephrata. The Mustangs, now 13‑7, have demonstrated the ability to rebound after early leads slipped in the final four innings.
Waynesboro managed a single run in each of the last four frames but stranded 12 runners on base, a missed opportunity that proved costly. Cooper Burr closed the game by pitching the seventh inning, preserving the lead.
With momentum on their side, the Mustangs look to extend their surprising run as they prepare for the next showdown, hoping to translate this late‑season surge into a deeper tournament run.
