NTL SOFTBALL: TOWANDA CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ATHENS IN LOSS (2021-04-30)

Northern Tier Sports Report
WYSOX — Towanda couldn’t dig out of an early hole as they fell to Athens 9-5 in NTL softball action Friday.

The Wildcats led 3-0 after the first two innings, but the Knights tied it up at 3-3 after the fourth.


A 3-run fifth sparked Athens to build a 9-3 lead through the top of the seventh. Towanda rallied in the bottom half of the inning, scoring three runs, but couldn’t get over the hump.


Jocelyn Bennett (2-for-4) and Saige Greenland led the Knights at the plate, with Greenland scoring a run, and knocking one in, while Athena Chacona (1-for-4) had a double with two runs scored.


Addie Maynard, and Shaye Ackley each scored a run, with Shaylee Greenland getting an RBI.


Maddie Maynard started, going five innings to get the loss. She struck out four, with four walks, four hits, and six runs, two of which were earned.


Shaylee Greenland pitched the final two innings, striking out one with no walks, four hits, and three runs, two of which were earned.


Down 3-0 in the bottom of the third Addie Maynard led off with a walk, followed by Saige Greenland hitting her in to get the Knights on the scoreboard. She would later score to cut it to a 1-run deficit.


Then in the fourth Chacona led off with a double, with Shaylee Greenland bringing her in to knot things up at 3-3.


Towanda then found themselves down in the seventh when Ackley led off with a walk, and would eventually score after two outs were made. Chacona would reach on an error, and score herself as Bennett kept the inning going, but that’s as far as Towanda got.


The Knights travel to NP-Liberty on Wednesday, with a 4:30 p.m. start.
