CORRY, PA – It was a special night for the Corry Beavers baseball team as they celebrated senior night on Monday.

Andrew Stevens reached base and scored three runs for the visiting Tigers to set the tone at the top of the lineup. Brayden Hennessy drove in three runs and including a Homrun, providing the biggest offensive highlight of the game. Robert Benford also had three RBIs, while Liam Hermann added two hits and an RBI.
