Port Allegany waltzed into their game on Wednesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They blew past the Coudersport Falcons 10-0. Considering the Gators have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Derek Smith made a splash no matter where he played. He kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most runs he has posted over his last nine contests.
In other batting news, Levi Howard and Kellen Veilleux did most of the damage at the plate: Howard went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run, while Veilleux went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base. That's the most RBI Howard has posted since back in April.
Port Allegany pushed their record up to 15-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Coudersport, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-5-1.
Looking ahead, Port Allegany will take on Smethport at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
