After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Port Allegany, Smethport was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Northern Potter Panthers a 12-0 shutout. The high-scoring effort was just what the Hubbers needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Colin Riekofsky was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. Riekofsky was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Konnor Davis was incredible, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Cole Burdick, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Smethport always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .543. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northern Potter only posted an OBP of .263.
