S. ABINGTON TWP. Alivia Plevyak and Dom Emmett struggled to get on track early in the game against Honesdale on Monday afternoon. <\/p>\n
That all changed for the Abington Heights duo in the fifth inning with two swings of the bat. <\/p>\n
Left fielder Plevyak and catcher Emmett blasted back-to-back home runs to lead the Lady Comets to a 7-5 win in a Lackawanna League crossover game. <\/p>\n
After shortstop Cassie Toth singled, Plevyak, who had popped out in her first two at-bats, lined a two-run homer over the left field fence to tie the game, 5-5. <\/p>\n
Youve got to stay positive, Plevyak said, and the team is really good with keeping each other up. (The pitch) was kind of high and I like them a little high. <\/p>\n
Emmett, who had grounded out in the first and fourth innings, followed with a solo home run to deep center field to give the Lady Comets a 6-5 advantage. <\/p>\n
Alivias home run sparked us, Emmett said. I was kind of struggling all day, but I knew how important (this game) was to the team so I just wanted to step up. <\/p>\n
Jessa Sablan, the eighth hitter in the lineup, added an RBI double to cap the rally. <\/p>\n
The bottom of the lineup really helped us, Abington Heights head coach John Kelly said. (Number-seven hitter Caroline) Mattise had two hits and Sablan had three. <\/p>\n
It was a big game, because we were tied with them in the district standings. It was a big win for the district seeding. <\/p>\n
