Nick Bradley has been a dominant force on the mound all season.
Now, the Abington Heights junior is beginning to do similar damage at the plate.
Bradley opened May with a 4-for-4 performance in a 10-6 victory over Scranton Prep.
Since throwing a five-inning, no-hitter against North Pocono, Bradley is on a four-game hitting streak in which he is 10-for-14 with a double, home run, six runs and four RBI.
Bradley is now hitting .451 with a team-highs of two homers, a share of the team lead with two triples and the team’s second-best run production with 18 RBI and 21 runs.
On the mound, the numbers are mind-boggling.
Bradley has worked at least five innings seven times this season, but has allowed only three hits one time and never more than that. He is 7-0 with a 0.33 earned run average with 69 strikeouts and just two runs allowed on 13 hits and two walks in 42 innings. Bradley had 16 strikeouts in seven innings and 13 in five innings in two wins over Valley View, plus two other games in double figures in strikeouts.
That two-way production is a big reason, but just one of the reasons that Abington Heights is leading the Lackawanna League Division 1 race at 10-0 and is 14-2 overall.
Reese Zalewski is 3-0 with two saves and an 0.35 ERA in 20 innings. He also leads the team with 18 stolen bases.
Thomas LaCoe is batting .490, leading the team in that category as well as with six doubles, 20 RBI and two triples.
Conner Abel chis in with a .444 average and Tate Pentasugio has scored a team-high 21 runs.
Scranton Prep is 2-9 and last in Division 1.
Lackawanna Trail is 7-4 and fourth in Lackawanna Division 3 where it handed division leader Elk Lake its only loss 6-3 May 1.
Isaac Ryon went 3-for-4 and scored twice while Tyler Jervis had two hits and two RBI in the win.
