BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Mike Anthony (1-1) threw a complete game 5-hitter, striking out 10, as Northampton downed Lehigh Carbon Community College, 15-2, in Region XIX baseball action on Thursday afternoon at Spartan Park.

Northampton rebounded quickly after falling behind 2-0, scoring 5 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning, sparked by a triple from Mike Agosto (2 for 3, 3 RBI) and a double from Zach Sheranko (3 for 4, 2 RBI).

A RBI double from Tyler Duplaga (2 for 3, RBI) and a RBI single from Sheranko in the bottom of the 6th pushed the score to 15-2 and when LCCC failed to score in the top of the 7th, the game was called due to the 10-run Region mercy rule.
