Sumner extended their losing streak to four on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 3-11 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 2-1 heartbreaker at the hands of the Machias Bulldogs. That's two games in a row now that the Tigers have lost by just one run.
As for Machias, they have been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games.
For Machias' part, Nick Hennessey spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up nine Ks. Hennessey has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
