HADDON TWP – The Roughriders were defeated by Hardenberg,
6-0, here on Wednesday night. The visitors managed just four hits, and combined with some
sloppy defense, made it an easy night for Hardenberg. Brian Spicer (1-3) again pitched solidly
but was not given much support. The two teams meet again on Friday night before closing out the
season series next week at Radnor.
