Geneseo had lost four straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 10-14 to make it five. They fell 6-2 to the Galesburg Silver Streaks. The Maple Leafs were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Silver Streaks earlier this season, when they won 4-3.
As for Galesburg, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-13 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.
For Galesburg's part, Tyree Taylor spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up six Ks. The Silver Streaks are 3-1 when Taylor allows one or fewer earned runs, but 8-12 otherwise.
At the plate, Galesburg's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Gabe Irizarry, who went 1-for-3 with one double and one RBI. That double marked the first that Irizarry has hit this season. Another was Jameson Dickerson, who earned two runs and two stolen bases.
Looking ahead, Geneseo will welcome Dakota at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Maple Leafs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Indians have averaged an impressive 6.8 runs per game this season. As for Galesburg, they will head out on the road to challenge Dunlap at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
