PITTSBURGH – It’s a pretty simple understanding the Pittsburgh Riverhounds’ duo of Corey Hertzog and Kevin Kerr have developed during their time with the club.

“Whenever Kevin gets the ball, I just try to be somewhere he can put it,” Hertzog said. “I mean, he put it on top of my head twice in a row. Me and Kevin, I think, are very dangerous together.”

On Saturday night, with the Hounds holding a man advantage against their Keystone Derby Cup rivals the Harrisburg City Islanders, it again came through to earn a 1-0 victory against Highmark Stadium for the club’s second win overall of the season.

The Riverhounds duo had almost combined 10 minutes before the halftime break, Kerr’s slipped through-ball putting Hertzog in on the right side of the penalty area. On that occasion, City Islanders goalkeeper Brandon Miller was equal to the task, turning the shot aside for a corner. With 15 minutes to go, however, there was little chance for the former USL Goalkeeper of the Year to deny Hertzog’s flicked header into the right corner of the net from Kerr’s cross.
