Comment on Kingston/Forty Fort Little League wins state opener in a rout

FLEETVILLE — The Kingston/Forty Fort all-stars couldn’t have asked for a better start in the Little League Major Baseball state tournament at Christy Mathewson Little League on Sunday. Of course, they could have done without the scary moments endured by starting pitcher Akira Kopec. KFF batted for 32 minutes in the top of the first, sending 16 players to the plate and scoring 10 times in an 18-2 rout of Section 4 champion Hollidaysburg in four innings. Section 5 champ KFF will face Section 2 champ North Allegheny, an 11-1 winner over Section 7 champ Dillsburg, at 7:30 p.m.
