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.
