The Caveliers' catcher, Santana, scored both runs posted by the Cavs and caught a difficult pop-up behind the plate. Though roused by a few good plays, ultimately, East Stroudsburg North's errors in the field proved detrimental to their good pitching.
It was the first game of the season for the Easton boys, who returned last week from the Bucky Dent baseball camp in Florida. Their first scheduled meet this season, postponed, will be held this Saturday, Hazleton at Easton.
