Kyle with a 'K'


With Villanova pitching coach Matt Kirby in town to take in the game, Old Forge's Kyle McMyne didn't disappoint his soon-to-be coach.

All McMyne did was strike out 17 hitters and hit a solo home run in his first at-bat against arch-rival Riverside. Kirby also had McMyne throwing consistently at 88 mph throughout the game, and had the senior fireballer topped out at 91.

Unfortunately, the Blue Devils defense didn't do much to help McMyne the few times he gave them a chance to.

Riverside scored four unearned runs in the top of the fifth to win 4-1 at Pagnotti Park on Monday.

McMyne allowed just two hits - a double and a home run - but five walks and two costly errors did in the Blue Devils.
