Towanda extended their losing streak to three on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 3-5 in the process. They fell 6-2 to the Athens Wildcats. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wildcats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 7-0 last Sunday.
Towanda saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jack Wheaton, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run. Owen Lane also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
As for Athens, their record now sits at 8-1. The six-run effort marked their lowest-scoring matchup of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
On Athens' side, Connor Davidson made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out 14 batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. Those 14 strikeouts gave Davidson a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four RBI.
Coincidentally, Towanda and Athens will both be playing Edison the next time they take the field. The Black Knights will host the Spartans at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, while the Wildcats will play them later in the day, at 4:00 p.m.
