NETHER PROVIDENCE — Garrett McGurl made one big mistake Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t on the mound for Corey Ziring’s fourth-inning home run which tied matters between Radnor and Strath Haven. It was actually how McGurl broke the tie.

“It was a curveball, and it was outside,’ said McGurl of his fifth-inning fielder’s choice that scored pinch-runner Pat Scheri and gave Radnor a 3-2 win. “My coach said, ‘˜swing at everything inside.’ So I kind of messed up, but I was lucky.’

The rest of McGurl’s day didn’t depend on fortune. He made his own luck in seven stellar innings, scattering nine hits (the Ziring dinger plus eight singles) and walking none to earn Radnor’s fourth win in five games.
