Lilly Conrad Chiropractic swept its best-of-three semifinal series with Blair County Oil with a 10-4 victory Saturday at Vets Field in the Altoona Greater City Baseball League.
Blair County Oil jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning, but Lilly pitcher Aiden Coleman closed the door the rest of the way. He finished giving up just six hits and no walks while striking out 15 in a complete-game victory.
Lilly scored three runs in the top of the fifth and then exploded for seven runs in the top of the seventh to put the game away. Ryan Ickes led Lilly by going 3-for-3 and scoring two runs, Cody Gallaher and Brandon Ickes each had two hits and two runs, and Tim Fabbri drove in a pair of runs.
Lilly, winner of 20 of the last 23 GCBL titles, will meet Sheetz or Pro Fab Solutions in the best-of-five finals scheduled to begin Tuesday.
