Troy 14, Towanda 1, 5 innings
The Trojans scored four times in the second and nine in the fourth inning of the win.
Clark Jackson struck out three and allowed three hits in four innings, while Kyle Schucker struck out one in a hitless inning.
"I didn't think we pitched all hat bad, we didn't field the ball," Towanda coach Bill Sexton said. "If you have 10 errors, that pretty much explains the game."
Collin Binford, Nathan Swain, Schucker, Dane Smith, Jackson, Nate Martin and Hunter Cohick had hits for Troy. Binford, Smith, Jackson and Martin all had an RBI and scored two runs, while Swain, Schucker and Cohick each had one RBI and a run scored.
Kody Schucker had two RBI and scored twice and Jah Wallace and Michael Borden scored runs.
Ricky Smiley had a triple and an RBI for Towanda, Keegan Kisner had a hit and Tyler Bidlack scored a run.
"I thought Ricky Smiley swung the bat really well for us," Sexton said. "He had the triple and he swung the bat hard both at-bats."
Kisner had a highlight reel catch for the Black Knights in centerfield.
Troy Pierce struck out two in two innings, Caleb Lines struck out one in 1 2/3 innings and Brayden Manchester pitched 2/3 of an inning for Towanda.
Towanda is at Wellsboro on Friday.
Wellsboro 5, Wyalusing 2
Joe Allen threw a complete-game in the win, striking out five and allowing just two hits.
Dawson Prough had three hits, with a double, two RBI and two runs scored and Dalton Prough had two hits and scored a run.
Caleb Tennis had two hits and Cam Tennis had a double. Johnny Rowland, Nick Tremper and James Mundy each had hits for Wellsboro.
Isaac Bennett started on the mound for Wyalusing and Zach Bruyn pitched in relief.
Holdan Hitchcock had a double and Bruyn had a hit.
"Joe pitched a consistent game and had good defensive help," Wellsboro coach Philip Prough said. "He was around the plate all night. The key was getting his curve ball over for strikes. Dawson had started to be more comfortable at the plate, but his third base defense was more impressive. It really helps our pitchers knowing we have kids who can make plays behind them. So Joe was able to throw his curveball with confidence because Tremper can back it and his infielders can handle most grounders. It was a good defensive game for us tonight."
Canton 5, Williamson 3
Down 2-0 after two, the Warriors got two runs in the third and three in the fourth to get the win.
Ethan Landis had two hits, with a double, and Kobe Walker had a hit, an RBI and a run scored and Kaden Martell had a hit and scored a run.
