WARFORDSBURG – Dane Harvey hit a pair of two-run homers in the first two innings, powering host Southern Fulton to an 8-3 victory over California in the first round of the WPIAL Class A baseball playoffs Monday.

Harvey’s blasts helped Southern Fulton (23-1), the District 5 champion, forge a 7-1 lead after two innings.

California (14-9) closed to within 7-3 in the fifth but the Trojans were held to six hits, which wasn’t enough to fuel a comeback. Southern Fulton pitchers Ethan Mellott and Owen Oakman combined for 11 strikeouts.

Dom Martini had two of California’s six hits.

Harvey finished the game 2-for-2 with two walks and six RBI.
