Wellsboro pitching shuts down Black Knights.

WYSOX - Joe Allen was unhittable for five innings and the Wellsboro Green Hornets used dominant pitching to defeat Towanda 1-0 on Monday.

Allen and Brandon Owlett combined on a two hitter for the Green Hornets, striking out six Towanda batters.

"I have got to give all the credit to my defense," Allen said.

On a windy day the defense knew they had to be ready the whole game.

"We did a good job, trying to stay active and on our toes," Owlett said.

Allen held the Black Knights hitless through five innings and in the sixth with a 1-0 lead Owlett came in after Richard Benjamin and Ethan Barto got Towanda's only two hits.

After Owlett got Dylan Bates to ground into a fielder's choice, it left runners on the corner for Nick Place.

"That's what you want to see, their best against our best," Towanda coach Bill Sexton said. "We had our chance there with our two best hitters (Bates and Place) up."

Owlett knew what he had to do when he came in.

"I just came in and tried to throw strikes," Owlett said.

While the strong winds could be tough at times on Monday, the Wellsboro pitchers also knew it could work to their advantage.

"When they have kids like Nick Place it's nice to have the wind helping you," Owlett said. "It gives your outfielders a chance to catch things."

In 5 1/3 innings Allen struck out two, walked two and allowed two hits. While he wasn't striking everyone out, he was giving the defense a chance to help him.

"I was trying to keep the ball down and give my defense a chance," he said. "Again, I have to give my defense all the credit."

Owlett struck out four in 1 2/3 perfect innings.

For Towanda Tristan James struck out eight and allowed one walk, one hit batter, four hits and one earned run in five innings. Sawyer Strope pitched two perfect innings, striking out four.

"What got lost in this was another really good pitching performance for us," Towanda coach Bill Sexton said. "Tristan gave us five very good innings and Sawyer was just lights out."

Neither team could get on the board the first three innings, and Wellsboro finally got things going in fourth as Dawson Prough got a hit, Dylan Prough grounded out and Brian Doty walked, before Brett Kendrick drove in Dawson Prough for the games only run.

Dawson Prough had two hits, with a double, and the run and Kendrick and Owlett had hits, with Kendrick getting the RBI.

Wellsboro's players know how big this win was.

"It's always good to beat a team like Towanda," Owlett said.
