The baseball field at Fort Cherry, with its short dimensions, is designed for offense. And there was plenty of offense Friday.

Colton Temple hit three of Fort Cherry’s six home runs, including a walk-off two-run blast in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Rangers rallied for a wild 15-13 win over Keystone Oaks in nonsection action.

The win keeps Fort Cherry undefeated at 9-0.

The Rangers had to rally in this one. Keystone Oaks (3-5) led 4-0 in the second inning and 11-6 in the fifth and 13-8 in the sixth. Fort Cherry scored five times in the sixth, which included a Landon Trnavsky home run and Tyler Wolfe’s second homer of the game, to tie the score at 13-13.

In the seventh, Trnavsky led off with a walk and Temple followed with his game-winning homer to right field.
