Forest Hills at Central Cambria May 1.

                 The Forest Hills High School Baseball team can be explosive on offense. The Rangers showed why on Tuesday afternoon as they belted out a nine run inning in the 5th to score an 11-1 shortened victory over host Central Cambria. The game's final score was not indicative of how close it was early on.  The Red Devils were looking to knock off the mighty Rangers and for four innings that seemed like a distinct possibility.  The visiting Rangers used a solid outing by Justin Gdula(4 Innings 7 Strikeouts 1 Run) and the big inning to dispel that notion.
                 Forest Hills held an early 1-0 lead. Central Cambria threatened that lead in the second as Forest Hills pitcher, Justin Gdula, hit two Red Devil batters only for them to be stranded at second and third.  The Red Devils were able to threaten again as they strung together four straight singles in the third, but only Donnie Ochenrider was able to plate a run to cut into the Ranger lead at 2-1.  The final Central Cambria offensive push was put down when Justin Gdula started a 1-6-3 Double play.  That is when the game took a turn for the worse for the home team. Central Cambria's starter, Dann Bowman was effective for four innings, but he was only able to keep the powerful offense in check for so long. Forest Hills was able to send twelve men to the plate and reeled off nine runs to set the mercy rule in effect.  The statement inning featured Junior Shortstop, Jared Shope, going 2-2 with a single,double, and three runs batted in. When Shope was asked about the big inning, "We came in and our leader (Gdula) told us we needed a big inning right now. We just came out and scored runs" The Rangers then turned to Brady Wright to close out the Red Devils, and he set the home team down quietly. Forest Hills improves its record to 10-4, and helps its own stock in the District Six AAA race, while Central Cambria slips to 3-7.
