Thoughts on the game: Wallenpaupack played a great game, their pitching is very good. Freshman Izaiah Santiago went 3 for 3 and looks to have a great future. Congrats to them on the District 2 Crown. For Crestwood, Brett Caladie had a great game, reaching base all 3 times. This team did something not many teams do and that's not get shutout all season.
