He didn't have his good stuff early, got out of the first with a strikeout and pop out and then retired nine out of the 10 after that. He got the first guy in the sixth then we made three errors in that inning."

The Knights also failed to get timely hitting.

"We hit pretty well in the middle of the order," explained Sexton. Strope and Place and Bates hit pretty well but we couldn't get anything going in other places. We loaded the bases in the first inning and only got one run out of it."

Halfway through the season Towanda is still fighting to be .500.

"At this point were not able to complete what we need to do," Sexton said. "Hopefully it's going to come around but it better come around soon. There's not much left in the season."
