Sayre tops North Penn-Mansfield 7-6 in extra innings walk-off.

The Hanafin brothers came up big for Sayre in their 7-6 win over North Penn-Mansfield in 8 innings Friday in NTL baseball action.

In the bottom of the eighth Connor Hanafin walked to lead off. His brother Quinn Hanafin then hit him home on a double to give Sayre a much needed win.

The Redskins were 0-2 in their last two NTL games and had fallen behind CV in the standings for the Division-II title. Sayre's win coupled with CV's loss to Wellsboro puts the Redskins up half a game now.

On the other side the loss hurts NP-Mansfield's chances of wresting control of the Division-I title from Athens. The Wildcats have won three straight division titles.

This is the Tigers' second league loss and puts them one game back of the Wildcats in the loss column. NP-Mansfield fell to Athens earlier in the season who have also lost to Sayre.

NP-Mansfield will have a chance to even things up when they play Athens again, provided neither team loses before then.
