May 15—SUNBURY — It wouldn't seem that there'd be much for Shikellamy to feel good about in light of an 11-run loss, but the Braves had an awful lot to appreciate Friday.
Before a pitch was thrown, the program honored its nine-member senior class — seven of them starters, who were catalysts in an extraordinary 11-game winning streak.
Then, when a pitch was thrown, it was junior right-hander Kaden Hoffman making his long-anticipated first appearance of the season in a return from shoulder surgery.
So although Central Mountain bashed its way to a seven-run second inning and a 13-2 win that tightened the Heartland Athletic Conference-Division I race, Shikellamy was in no real hurry to turn the page.
