Towanda came tearing into Saturday's match with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Notre Dame Crusaders. The Black Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by nine runs or more this season.
Jack Tavani spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Towanda is 4-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 3-4 otherwise.
At the plate, Towanda let Wil Shrawder and Rylee Sluyter run wild. Shrawder went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI, while Sluyter got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. That's the most stolen bases Shrawder has posted since back in May of 2024. Another player making a difference was Gianni Assante, who went 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Towanda pushed their record up to 7-5 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Notre Dame, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-6.
Coming up, Towanda will venture away from home to take on Mansfield at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Tigers' pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Black Knights' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Notre Dame, they will host Dryden at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Crusaders are facing the Lions at the right time seeing as the Lions are stuck on a five-game losing streak.
