Syracuse had lost four straight at home, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 1-17 to make it five. They came up short against the Layton Lancers, falling 12-0. The shutout was out of character for the Titans seeing as the last time the team failed to score was back in March.
Syracuse saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Colsten Thomas, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one triple and one stolen base. That triple was Thomas' first of the season.
As for Layton, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games.
On Layton's side, they got a great performance from Hudson Rigby as he didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. Rigby has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Paul York was a standout: he went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, one triple, and one double. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Will Hoffman, who went 1-for-3 with one home run.
