The Addison Knights will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Wellsboro Hornets at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Addison is headed out to face Wellsboro after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. The Knights blew past Hammondsport 19-2 on Friday. The Knights have beaten the Lakers the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Lakers has come to flipping the script.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wellsboro). Everything went their way against Wyalusing Valley on Tuesday as they made off with a 12-2 victory. The Hornets not only won on Tuesday, but they posted their biggest win since May 11, 2024.
Gabe Sprouse made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. He is becoming a predictor of Wellsboro's success: when he allows at most one earned run the team is 2-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't). Sprouse was also big at the plate, scoring four runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Alec Magli, who went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Marek Mascho, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-4.
Wellsboro always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .526. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wyalusing Valley only posted an OBP of .208.
