Justin Spencer twirled a gem and the Nanticoke Area bats came alive late to break open a scoreless game en route to a 3-1 win over Hanover Area at PNC Field on Saturday.
Spencer earned the win with a complete game two-hitter. He allowed just one unearned run, walked one and struck out 12 batters.
After Hanover Area’s Collin Klein was able to match Spencer through five scoreless innings, the Trojans broke the game open with a three-run rally in the bottom of the sixth.
Jay Shemanski and Trentyn Harter each drove in a run from the heart of the Nanticoke order.
Nick Shiel drove in Hanover’s lone run in the top of the seventh inning, knocking home teammate Jake Vigorito.

Trailing by a run heading into the home half of the fourth, the Tigers pushed five runs across to take the lead and held on over the last three innings to pick up the win.
The Tigers’ offense was led by Charlie Welles, who drove in four of Tunkhannock’s eight runs. Collin Gregory had two hits and a pair of RBI.
Mountain View’s Bronson Kilmer and Carter Bain drove in five combined runs for the Eagles.
MMI Prep 18, CMVT 3
