Big hit from Exeter's Karysa Karas carries Exeter Girls softball to tight 6-4 win in first round of County playoffs.  Exeter will face Twin Valley Tuesday in the semifinals at Lyon's field.  Exeter swept the two regular season games against Twin Valley.

LAURELDALE, PA

For a good portion of Monday's Berks Softball League quarterfinal game, Karysa Karas and her Exeter teammates were having a tough time getting the hang of Hamburg pitcher Halle Gerner.

"She was pitching it high and changing it up," Karas said. "But we started to catch on."

It certainly took the Eagles long enough, as the upstart Hawks were looking to knock off the top seed and held the lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning.

All it took to right the ship was one swing from Karas' bat.

With two outs in the bottom of the sixth, a three-run home run by Karas put Exeter in front en route to a 6-4 win at Muhlenberg.

The win gives the Eagles (19-0) a date in today's semifinal round at Lyons. They will face No. 4 Twin Valley, which beat No. 5 Daniel Boone 5-1 in the second game of the doubleheader.

Karas' homer sailed just over the left field fence and turned a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead.

"I knew we needed that one," said Karas, who said it was the fourth homer of her high school career. "I had to do my job."

No. 8 Hamburg (11-10) had its troubles finding a rhythm against Exeter starter Sara Musselman, but staged a two-out rally in the fourth.

Erica Lutz walked and Kylee Landis singled. Gerner then helped herself with a double that scored Lutz. Amber Shuey followed with a two-run single that made it 3-0.

Meanwhile, the Eagles had their chances, but couldn't get any runners around the bases, stranding six through the first four innings.

That changed in the fifth. Emily Hangen led off with a single.

After Karas reached on a fielder's choice, Zoe Texidor singled home two runs to make it 3-2.

Karas then added her shot in the sixth after Zoe Barna and Hangen singled.

Paola Texidor also had an RBI single to increase the lead to 6-3.

The Hawks scored one in the seventh on an Alyson Rentschler single.
