The Upper St. Clair Baseball team hosted Mt. Lebanon today in the teams 2023 home opener. Coming off of a 4-3 victory on Friday over the Blue Devils, the Panthers looked to add another win to start their 2023 campaign. Another close game ensued as the teams were tied 2-2 after five full frames. In the bottom of the sixth inning Cooper Stutzman led things off with a double and after Owen Mandler reached base as well, Christian Wieczenski singled both of them home to give the Panthers a two-run lead. Upper St. Clair would tack on one more run in the sixth and Braden Pechart would retire the Blue Devils in order in the top of the seventh to close out the 5-2 win for the Panthers. Aiden Kappert got the start for Upper St. Clair and provided five solid innings of work, only allowing four hits in the outing. The Panthers move to 2-0 on the year and they will be back in action on Friday when they will host North Allegheny. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
