Athens won the last time they faced Wyalusing Valley and things went their way on Thursday too. The Wildcats blew past the Rams 11-1. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by six runs or more this season.

Kamdyn Wheeler spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on one hit.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brady Flynn, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Eli Chapman also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Athens pushed their record up to 11-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Wyalusing Valley, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-13 record this season.
