After losing game one of the best-of-three Indiana County Youth Legion League Championship Series at home on Saturday, and with their season on the brink, Kovacik Insurance of Blairsville needed to win a doubleheader in Brookville on Sunday to win the league title and, more importantly, advance to the Western Regional Tournament next weekend in Homer City. That’s exactly what they did.
Kovacik Insurance won game 2 of the series, 13-3, forcing a game 3 30 minutes later, and they rode the momentum, building a 10-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings. They would add seven more and win, 17-2, in a five-inning mercy rule contest.
Blairsville will now join S.W. Jack of Indiana in the Western Regional Tournament beginning next Saturday morning in Homer City. They will play Saturday at 4 PM in Homer City preceding the SW Jack of Indiana game at 7.
