Township held New Holland in the top of the 9th, thanks to Alex Sota's pitching, and in the bottom of the 9th inning, with a runners on second and third and two outs, Josh Bucher hit a ball to second base.  The ball took a bad hop, resulting in the second basemen's error and Manheim Township's first win of the season.
