off-balanced as the Red Rovers pulled off a huge victory over the Hurricanes on a day both teams honored the memory of late Liberty Assistant Coach and Marine Veteran Mark Benetsky.\u00a0 Easton has not yet clinched a spot in either the league or district playoffs but is playing teams directly ahead of them in the standings coming up this week and still can get in.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whitehall\u2019s Jack Lloyd also pitched a gem as the Zephyrs posted an impressive win over Parkland, greatly helping their chances of reaching the EPC playoffs (their victory over North Schuylkill the very next time wasn\u2019t too shabby either!).\u00a0 The defending District XI champs have already clinched a district playoff berth and are currently #1 in the 5A classification with a little more than a week left in the regular season.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the loss to Nazareth, Freedom continues to have an impressive season as they have clinched a district berth and remain in the \u201ctop 4\u201d spots in the race for the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference.\u00a0 Among the team\u2019s highlights this spring include senior Chase Walker\u2019s 100th strikeout and the hot hitting by sophomore Santiago Rodriquez, hitting over 400 with 10 extra base hits and 20 RBIs as of last weekend.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like last spring, Salisbury is catching fire just as the playoffs approach.\u00a0 They\u2019ve scored several impressive wins recently and are not only now in the top four spots of the Colonial League playoff race, but enter this week just one game back of Allentown Central Catholic in the race for the Class 3A district playoff top seed (they too have already made the district postseason).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check back to \u201c<strong><a
