Huntingdon Valley (HV) gave up 1 hit to the first batter of the game and none after as they lost 1-0 to Warwick in the finals of the 1st annual HVAA Baseball Tournament.

Great Showing By Predator All-Stars Horn, Acker and Killion


(Horn, Killion, Acker)


On a very hot Saturday afternoon the Huntingdon Valley Predator All-Stars showed what all-stars are all about.

Bryce Horn was the starting pitcher for the "Blue" all-star team. Horn gave up no earned runs in an inning of work and caught a line drive smash right to him. Horn was 0-2 at the bat with a fly out.

Matt Acker made a couple really nice plays in the infield and was 0-2 at the plate with 2 hard hit balls that where fielded.

Connor Killion played first base and right field made really nice plays and was 1-2 at the plate with a base hit to left field.

HV showed how far they have come in a short time and proved that they belong with the "Big Boys"

Congrats to the players.

Huntingdon Valley Predators Comes Up Short Against Horsham 22-9

On first early game of the season (10 am Start) Huntingdon Valley (HV) just didnt have enough power to compete with Horsham as they lost 22-9. Horsham scored first and in every inning. HV did put up a fight as far as the home 4th inning when they scored 6 runs to show that there is a lot of fight in the Predators.

Horsham scored runs in the first inning. Pitcher Nick Brady did a great job through many close pitches, a very very very small strike zone and a close call when Catcher Brock Landes gunned down a runner at 2nd base to only have him called safe. HV showed nothing but heart as they battled back in the bottom of the inning when Matt Acker (2 for 2, 3 runs scored) and "The little engine that could" Jordan Leiber (2 for 2, 2 runs scored) both got on base and scored on RBI's off the bats of Connor Killion (2 for 2, 3 RBI's) and Justin Azran.

Horsham scored again in the top of the 2nd inning until Pitcher Bryce Horn ( 2 Innings Pitched 5 Strikeouts and 2 earned runs) entered the game with the bases loaded no out jam and stuck out the next 3 batters to prevent any more harm. HV went down in order in the bottom of the inning.

In the 3rd inning Horsham scored 2 runs in the top of the inning. HV went right back to work when they scored 2 runs in the bottom of the inning. 3 straight singles by Victor Tang, Acker and Leiber lead to RBI's from Leiber and Azran.

In the 4th Horsham scored more runs in the top of the inning. In the bottom of the 4th inning HV showed much heart when they posted 6 runs. The inning started with Brady walking which followed singles by Matt Ginsberg and Tang. Acker then walked in a run and Leiber singled in another. Harrison Rosser walked to plate another run and the rally and game ended after Killion singled in yet another run.

HV showed much heart and hope to get its first victory of the season on the road Friday at Pennsbury.
