The Dauphin Legion baseball team achieved a rare triple play in a loss to Paxton in Dauphin County Legion League action last week.

Paxton 5, Dauphin 3, June 23. Paxton scored three of its total runs in the first inning. Two of them came from a homerun by Jon Romberger.

Dauphin pulled off a 5-2-3-5 triple play in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the bases loaded no one from Paxton out, Dauphin third basemen Shane Sager fielded a hard ground ball. Sager threw home to Dauphin catcher Matt Osenbach for the first out. Matt then threw to his brother Drew Osenbach at first base for the second out.

The Paxton runner that was on second base rounded third base too far. Drew then threw back to Sager who made the tag on the runner trying to return to third base, leading to the third and final out.

Dauphin had eight different batters get at least one hit for the night.

Zach Morrett gave up only seven hits for the game. Paxton’s Jim Wix got the win, striking out four batters and giving up eight hits in the game.

‘‘Both pitchers pitched extremely well in this game,’’ a spokesman for the Dauphin team said. Dauphin vs.

Susquehanna, June 22: This game was postponed by rain. No make up date had been set as of press time June 28.
