Sat. Pa. roundup: Coyle powers GA

Germantown Academy's Sean Coyle provided the latest evidence Saturday as to why Baseball America has him ranked at the No. 42 high school prospect.

That exhibit is somewhere in the woods at Perkiomen School where, in a 9-6 nonleague win, Coyle hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning that carried not only the center field fence but over a three-story building 100 feet beyond the fence.

It was one of two homers on the day for high-ranked prospects for the unbeaten Patriots (11-0) as Keenan Kish stroked a deep home run over the left-field fence in the sixth inning to give the Patriots a 9-4 lead. Kish is rated the No. 59 prospect in the nation by Baseball America.

It was the first loss of the season for the Indians (3-1).

In other nonleague games:

Steve Markus hit a pair of home runs to power Monsignor Bonner to an 8-7 win at Haverford School.

In the other game at Haverford School, the Fords came away with a 5-1 win over Radnor behind solo homers from Ricky Troncelleti and Will Katzka.

Pennridge blasted visiting Southern Lehigh, 14-5, as Tim Eversole hit a three-run homer in the first inning.

Episcopal Academy's Jack Freese took advantage of the near-perfect weather conditions to break a seven-year-old record in the 10th Annual Chestnut Hill Relays.
