Ty Callahan was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. Callahan was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 3-for-4. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in hits.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brady Hounsell, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. Joey Newell was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases.

Great Valley kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Harriton only managed three hits.

Meanwhile, Interboro unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 8-1 to Upper Merion Area on Friday. The Buccaneers haven't had much luck with the Vikings recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.

Interboro saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Austin Dean, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

Everything went Great Valley's way against Interboro when the teams last played back in April of 2024, as Great Valley made off with a 17-2 win. Will Great Valley repeat their success, or does Interboro have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
