WYALUSING - Kyle Tinna threw a complete-game shutout for Wyalusing, and he scored the winning run in a 1-0 victory over Towanda.
Tinna singled to lead off the seventh and was bunted to second. After a strikeout for the second out of the inning, Tinna stole third and scored on a Devon Carr single.
On the mound Tinna struck out four and allowed three hits and no walks in the win.
Tristan James had a dominant game on the mound for Towanda in the loss, allowing three hits and two walks, and the one earned run, while striking out 13. James is 0-2 on the year, allowing just three runs in his 17 innings of work.
"It's a frustrating loss, we didn't beat ourselves, we just didn't do enough to win the game," Towanda coach Bill Sexton said. "Wyalusing got the inning they put two base hits together. They did the things they needed to do. They put two hits in the same inning and we didn't do that. We had the same number of hits, we just couldn't do them in the same inning. We had opportunities with people on base, we just couldn't get them in."
Tinna had two hits and scored the run for Wyalusing and Carr had the hit and RBI. Sawyer Strope had two hits, with a double for Towanda and Dylan Bates added a hit.
