MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Devin Flannery won the 133-pound bracket and 157-pound Jonathan Parilla finished as the runner-up at Millersville's annual "Shorty" Hitchcock Memorial Classic Saturday. 

Flannery earned his first "Shorty" crown, having finished as the runner-up in the 125-pound class as a freshman in 2019. The event has run every year since 1974, and Flannery is the first Marauder since Shane Ruhnke in 2019 to win a weight class at the event. Flannery also won the ESU Open earlier this season. 

The field included wrestlers from 28 schools and clubs as well as unattached wrestlers. Flannery bested 21 wrestlers in his weight class by going 5-0 with an 18-2 tech fall in the first round and a pin in round two. In the semifinals, Flannery trailed Navy Prep's Evan Tallmadge 5-2 in the third period, but Flannery finished with a flurry, getting an escape with 1:07 remaining and scored the takedown he needed to tie it with just 11 seconds remaining. Flannery finished the win in sudden victory with a takedown at 1:38. 

Flannery beat K.J. Fenstermacher, a former Division I wrestlers at WVU and Pitt, by a 3-1 decision to take first place, and he did it with another rally in the third period. A defensive battle throughout the first two periods, an escape from the bottom position 20 seconds into the third evened the score. As the clock ticked under a minute, Flannery got the takedown and then rode out Fenstermacher the remainder of the period. 

"Devin was phenomenal today," said Millersville head coach Jerry Boland. "He showed championship level grit in his semifinal and final. I am extremely proud of him."

Parilla won his first four matches at 157 pounds--a stretch that included a tech fall and major decision. He edged Drexel's Dominic D'Agostino in the semis before Navy Prep's Nick Vafiadis earned a 5-2 decision over Parilla in the title bout. 

Millersville also got a fifth-place finish from 125-pound Dom Flatt. Danny Capozzoli (141) and Andrew Vogelbacher (174) took sixth. Vogelbacher went 4-2 in a packed weight class. Eli Tuckey posted a 3-2 record at 157 pounds, scoring a fall and a major decision. 

"I think we wrestled very well as a team," said Boland. "We outworked a lot of our opponents late in matches and cleaned up some things we worked on from last weekend. We will look to build on that when we get back in the room on Monday." 

The Marauders start PSAC dual action on Thursday, Dec. 1 at Shippensburg.
