After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Westfield, Clymer Central/Sherman/Panama was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Maple Grove Red Dragons as they made off with a 15-5 victory. The Wolfpack might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by seven runs or more this season.

Tate Catanese made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out ten batters over six innings while giving up five earned runs off seven hits (and only one walk). Those ten strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 4-for-5 with three stolen bases, five RBI, and one run. Clymer Central/Sherman/Panama is undefeated when Catanese posts two or more stolen bases, but 2-4 otherwise.

In other batting news, Clymer Central/Sherman/Panama let Bryce Hinsdale and Gavin Burchanowski run wild. Hinsdale went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI, while Burchanowski got on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Hinsdale is becoming a predictor of Clymer Central/Sherman/Panama's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 3-4 when he doesn't). Jonny Abers was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

Clymer Central/Sherman/Panama kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Maple Grove, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-6.

Looking ahead, Clymer Central/Sherman/Panama will square off against Brocton at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Wolfpack's hitters will have their work cut out for them. Maple Grove has already played their next contest (against Clymer Central), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
