Hatfield and Nor-Gwyn are separated by just a few short miles, and the rivalry has developed into one of the most intense around in recent years. Hatfield took the regular season Bux-Mont title last year before Nor-Gwyn stormed back to take the co-championship with Boyertown while Hatfield's season ended early.
This year, both teams were quick out of the gate, Nor-Gwyn undefeated and Hatfield near the top of the standings in the league. Tonight's game was a thriller... though it didn't appear that's how it would turn out from the onset. Nor-Gwyn jumped out as well as they could have possibly hoped, to say the least, with eleven runs in the top of the first inning.
But no lead in legion baseball is ever safe. Hatfield rallied back for ten runs of their own throughout the course of the game, and had the tying run ninty feet away when the Hawks iced the game with a strikeout. Nor-Gwyn stayed undefeated in league play with this victory.
Final Score: Nor-Gwyn 11, Hatfield 10
