Tues. Pa. boys’ roundup: Pietrak wins prolonged tennis title

Waiting proved worthwhile for Holy Ghost Prep tennis player Connor Pietrak on Tuesday.

Pietrak survived a three-day delay to beat New Hope-Solebury's Brandon Loreti, 6-0, 7-6, and take his first Bicentennial League singles championship.

Pietrak played the first set Saturday at Lower Moreland, with the second set moving to Tuesday morning at the same site because of Saturday's rain.

Pietrak, the league's No. 1 seed, advances to the District 1 tournament Friday at the Healthplex in Springfield (Delaware County). Loreti was the No. 2 seed.

Daniel Anderson, a junior, scored eight goals, including the 100th of his career, to power Collegium to a 12-3 Tri-County League win at Woodlynde.

Anderson now has 105 career goals and is the first player in the history of the school to reach the 100-goal mark.

Inter-Ac. Hup Hupfeldt scored six goals as Haverford School, the top-ranked team in both the state and the nation, rolled to a 12-6 win at Penn Charter.

Bicentennial. Nick Barraclough scored seven goals and added five assists for Springfield (Montco) in a 14-3 win over visiting Devon Prep.

Nonleague. Jake Shapiro won nine of 10 faceoffs to lead Radnor past visiting Neshaminy, 14-1.

The circle was a particularly strong area for the Red Raiders, as Mike Barnes also won eight of nine face-offs. Senior attackman Jeff Puckette, a Penn recruit, capitalized on his scoring opportunities with three goals.

Jake Hermann scored eight goals for Interboro in a 15-3 win over visiting Upper Darby. The Bucs also received three goals from Dave Hearn and 10 saves from Steve Lee.

At Vogt Recreation Center, visiting Roxborough overcame some sloppy play in the field to hang a 19-12, Public League loss on Franklin Towne Charter.

The Rams, who committed eight errors, had no trouble hitting Coyote pitching as Ralph Martinez and Tyler Renninger evenly split six hits and 12 RBIs.

Martinez, a junior shortstop, was 3 for 3 and scored five runs in five plate appearances. He was hit by a pitch in his other two trips to the plate.

Renninger, a senior left fielder, was 3 for 5.
