Wawasee extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 18 on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 0-17 in the process. They were two runs away from ending the streak, but they lost a 4-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Triton Trojans. The Warriors were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Trojans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
Wawasee got a good showing from Garrett Tittle, who pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Furthermore, Tittle didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April.
At the plate, Wawasee saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ryan Mack, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.
As for Triton, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games.
On Triton's side, Drew Bingamon made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over 3.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and not a single walk). Bingamon has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. That's the most RBI he has posted over his last 12 contests.
Coming up, Wawasee will be playing at home against Plymouth at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Warriors' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Pilgrims/Rockies have averaged an impressive 6.2 runs per game this season. As for Triton, they are taking a road trip to take on Culver Academies at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Eagles' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Trojans' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
