If Haverling was riding high off their 17-1 takedown of Avoca-Prattsburgh last Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Haverling Rams fell just short of the Geneseo Blue Devils by a score of 3-2 on Friday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Haverling of the 16-15 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2023.
Haverling saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Owen Smith, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Smith has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances.
On Geneseo's side, Phillip Dotterweich spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on two hits and racked up 12 Ks.
Haverling's loss dropped their record down to 9-6. As for Geneseo, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season.
Coincidentally, both teams will both be playing Livonia the next time they take the field. Geneseo will head out to face Livonia at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, while Haverling will play them later in the day, at 5:15 p.m.
