Toll Gate had lost five games on the road, but after bumping their record up to 4-13 on Tuesday that streak is in the rearview. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-1 victory over the Johnston Panthers. The Titans have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Panthers, too.
Jack Colvin spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up eight Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Toll Gate is 3-1 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 1-12 otherwise.
At the plate, Toll Gate saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Edward Rosario, who went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI. That's the most hits Rosario has posted since back in April. Shane Moro also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
As for Johnston, their defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 3-12. That's two games in a row now that they have lost by exactly two runs.
On Johnston's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and he was also dialed-in: Ethan Bracey gave up just two earned (and one unearned) runs on eight hits and racked up seven Ks. Bracey has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
