Go Falcons! Boys Defend Baseball Championship Thursday

Salisbury boys will go for their twelfth Colonial League baseball championship Thursday against Southern Lehigh at 7 p.m. at Limeport Stadium.

The Falcons defeated Notre Dame 4-1 Tuesday in the semi-final game.

Salisbury goes into the championship ranked first in the Colonial League South. Southern Lehigh is ranked second.

Four Falcons have been named to the Colonial League all-star baseball first team:

• Senior pitcher Nicolas Ampietro
• Senior third baseman Tyler Cooperman
• Junior shortstop Justin Aungst
• Junior outfielder Brad Vangeli

Salisbury won its 11th Colonial League championship title last year.

In 2011, the Falcons made history by becoming the school's first team to compete for a state title in any sport.

Falcons outfielder Mason Kresley was recently named the Morning Call's "High School Player of the Week" for his two-run home run last week. Kresley has 27 RBIs this season.
