Bath, behind Ed Albertson's shutout, reaches championship game of Region 2 American Legion baseball tournament

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/07/bath_behind_ed_albertsons_two-.html FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES Ed Albertson pitched a brilliant two-hitter and Pat Donnelly drove in three runs as Bath continued its spirited run through the loser's bracket, defeating Doylestown 5-0 this afternoon in the Region 2 American Legion baseball tournament at Owls Field in West Lawn, Pa. Bath (28-4), which was routed 11-3 by Doylestown Saturday in its first game of the tournament, needs to beat the Tigers again later this afternoon to become the first Northampton County League team to win a Region 2 championship since Northampton won back-to-back crowns in 1995-96. Albertson, a right-handed rising senior at Liberty High School, threw 111 pitches while giving up singles only to Dylan Glassmore with one out in the fifth inning and Clay Sebesky with one out in the ninth. Doylestown (29-7-2), the Bux-Mont League champion, entered the game undefeated in the tournament with 16 wins in a row overall.
