Tonawanda had to hit the road for their first game and sadly it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They wound up on the wrong side of a rough 15-4 walloping at the hands of the Cheektowaga Warriors on Friday. Tonawanda was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Cheektowaga apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in June of 2021.
For Cheektowaga's part, Ricardo Garece tossed a big game, striking out six batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits.
On the hitting side, Cheektowaga let Jerromy Gonzalez and Jacob Malkowski loose on the outfield. Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and a run, while Malkowski scored four runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Christopher Kibby was another key contributor, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
Cheektowaga's win bumped their record up to 2-4.
While Tonawanda had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
