Champs crowned

Mars players celebrate after Brendan Malone scored a run in the third inning of Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Cranberry at Marburger Field. The victory gave Mars a sweep of the best-of-five Eagle County Baseball Championship Series.

MARS — On a team filled with veterans, Mars' Mike Jeffreys has shown he's a pitcher beyond his years.

The soon-to-be sophomore at Geneva College limited Cranberry Township to three hits over five scoreless innings to lead Mars to a 4-2 victory in Game 3 of the Eagle County Championship Series Wednesday night at Marburger Field.

Mars swept the best-of-five series.

“Mike has pitched well all year,” said Mars manager Rob Fester. “For a young kid, he's lights out. He has a bright, bright future.”
