This is From Tom Hinkel from the Express Times

Karl Keglovits pitched a three-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts Sunday afternoon as Nazareth advanced to the championship round of the Northampton County American Legion baseball playoffs with a 5-0 victory over Bath at Nazareth Borough Park.

Nazareth (17-6) will host Freemansburg in Game 1 of the best of three championship series beginning at 5:30 today. Keglovits struck out at least one batter in every inning and walked two in turning in one of his more dominant outings of the season.

Leading 3-0, he recorded two strikeouts to work out of a second-and-third one out jam in the fifth inning.

"I felt awesome," said Keglovits, who'll be a junior at Nazareth Area High School. "I did some long-tossing and felt great. Then in the bullpen things just heated up. This could be one of the best games I've thrown in my career."

Keglovits received strong offensive support from center fielder Ryan Mulhearn, who was 3-for-3 with a run and RBI. Keglovits helped his cause with two hits and a sacrifice fly.

Designated hitter Kyle Dauscher walked three times and scored twice.
