Millis had lost five straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Wednesday they dropped down to 0-9 to make it six. They came up short against the Norton Lancers, falling 11-1. That's two games in a row now that the Mohawks have lost by exactly ten runs.
Millis saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Desmond Hinkley, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI. Declan Jewett also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
As for Norton, the win was the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 4-8. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games.
On Norton's side, Quint Perry looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. Perry has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jack Regan, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Ben Price, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests. Millis will square off against Westwood at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Wolverines' pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so the Mohawks' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Norton, they will take on Ashland at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Lancers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Clockers have averaged an impressive 7.1 runs per game this season.
