Abington Heights lefty ends Shik's season

May 25—SUNBURY — The Shikellamy baseball team made a living by coming back in the late innings during its first championship season in 14 years.

So the cardiac Braves needed one more comeback in Monday's District 2/4 Class 5A quarterfinal game with Abington Heights.

Comets lefty Scott Gilbert made sure Shikellamy couldn't resuscitate it's season.

Gilbert struck out 13, including the final five outs of the game, and Abington Heights pushed across a run in the top of the sixth as the Comets ended the Braves' season, 1-0.

"I thought we battled, and we had some good at-bats," Shikellamy coach Derek Alex said.
