The dream season continues for the Northern Lehigh Bulldogs. On Monday afternoon at Pates Park in Allentown, the Bulldogs used their bats and solid pitching leading them to a 10-0 win over Philadelphia Academy Charter in the opening round of the PIAA 2A tournament.
Alicia Horn was on her game once again as she struck out 11 batters while giving up just three hits leading Northern Lehigh to their first state playoff win since the late 90’s. The Bulldogs broke the game open in the second inning behind a 2-run double by Lauren Hoffman and a RBI-triple from Halie Krasenics.
The Bulldogs are still two games under .500 at 11-13 overall but they are playing their best so far this season. Next up will be District 3 Champion Susquenita on Thursday in the PIAA 2A quarterfinals.
