Jordan Rockwell threw a complete game for Sayre, striking out one batter.
"We have been playing in spurts and we are a young team," Wellsboro coach Philip Prough said. "The key for us is not getting too low and not getting too high. We have played some good teams for good stretches of the game though and we just seem to collapse in one inning and today it didn't happen, we were able to put together a complete game, granted it was with help of one of their better players, Matt Williams, hurt but still, Rockwell is a good pitcher. It helps to not walk people and not have an error. It was refreshing to have a 4-3 game to be a part of."
