Lancaster, which edged Niagara Falls out of the Section VI baseball playoffs on a seventh-inning seeing-eye single last May, thumped the Wolverines more emphatically, 10-3, before about 100 bundlers Friday morning at Sal Maglie Stadium.

The Redskins plated their leadoff man and never trailed. Every starter scored a run.

David Yarger singled home Mike Gabriel in Falls’ second and Joe Colosi doubled home Mike Colosi and Chris Cardona in the fifth. Wolverine first-sacker Mike Eagler pulled off an unassisted double play, shortstop Mike Colosi ranged far right to backhand a line drive and catcher Chris Cardona tracked down a wind-blown popup.

Joe Colosi pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Including a split of spring-break games in South Carolina, the Wolverines now stand at 2-4. Despite wrinkly field conditions, neither team committed an error.
