Friday night at McCaskey for the second home football game, JPM hosted William Tennent (from Warminster, about fifteen miles north of Philadelphia) in the last of its four non-league games. The Red Tornado scored first on a 22-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Cintron to DeAndre Jones in the opening quarter, Cintron's convert made it 7-0. Tennent tied it with a second-quarter TD and took a 14-7 lead in the third which stood to the very end, the loss drops JPM to 2-3 at the season's midpoint. Through five games the club is averaging sixteen points per game and yielding an average of twenty-eight, the next home date is not until October 11. On Saturday we did our usual lunch date in Quarryville, in the evening we were West Of The River for game #4 in York. The Stormers had stayed alive with a 14-3 win in game #3 on Friday, on this night the Revs took command early and ended the series with a 9-2 win. Alerick Soularie blasted a pair of two-run home runs over the Arch Nemesis (in the second and again in the fourth), Roldani Baldwin added a three-run shot over the big wall in the sixth giving the Revolution a 7-0 advantage. Two more scored in the eighth on Baldwin's RBI single and a double-play groundout, the Stormers could only muster single runs in the seventh and ninth on base hits by Shawon Dunston and Isan Diaz. Michael Horrell went six innings for the win, Max Green suffered the loss. For the Stormers the quest for a "threepeat" is over, for the Revs it's a first trip to the championship series since 2017 and a shot at a fourth title in franchise history. It rained overnight into Sunday but in the morning the sun was out and the rink was dry at Lions Park for week #3 of street hockey. One new player brought the total participation to forty-seven, on this this day all but five were in attendance. Ephrata beat Hillside and Warwick won over Township, the league continues with week #1 rematches on the 29th. Take care, thanks for reading.
