ConVal had lost four straight at home, but on Tuesday they dropped their record down to 3-9 to make it five. They lost 9-3 to the Pelham Pythons. If the Cougars were looking for revenge after losing 10-8 to the Pythons when the teams met back in April of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Pelham, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 5-3. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For Pelham's part, Jake Davidson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits. Davidson is becoming a predictor of the Pythons' success: when he allows at most two earned runs the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
At the plate, Pelham got a massive performance out of Zach Dutton, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. Dutton also put up a run, which was his first of the season. Tyler Carvello was another key player, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two doubles, one stolen base, and two RBI.

The Sabers will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something the Cougars surely won't give up without a fight. As for Pelham, they will challenge Sanborn Regional at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Pythons are facing the Indians at the right time seeing as the Indians are stuck on an eight-game losing streak.
