Palmyra put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Gettysburg Warriors, sneaking past 4-2. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 4-3 back in April.

Jonathan Strohecker spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on six hits and racked up ten Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Alex Dorta and Aiden Willard did most of the damage at the plate: Dorta went 3-for-4 with one triple and one run, while Willard went 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Those three hits gave Dorta a new career-high.

Palmyra pushed their record up to 19-0 with the victory, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.4 runs over those games. As for Gettysburg, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-8 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Palmyra is set to square off against their familiar foe Red Land at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Gettysburg will take on rival Lower Dauphin at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Warriors 3.9, the Falcons 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
