Oley Valley’s Paul Petersen, who followed Burr at second base, went 1-for-2. Exeter’s Alexy Kelsey, who came off the bench to play center field, went 0-for-1 and was hit by a pitch.
Pennsylvania jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first. Burr started it off with a one-out walk. Following the second out and a walk, Detwiler hit a two-run double to left.
Pennsylvania scored eight runs in the third to go up 10-0.
