Titusville junior league baseball team took it to AC Valley/Knox last week in the rain at the Hasson Heights ball field in Oil City.
Jackson Oviatt started for Tituville and held Knox to just one run early. “We knew if we threw strikes with the defense we have, we’d have no problem,” said coach Keith Klingler.
They took a 3-1 lead into the fifth inning when Tanner Wolfkiel laced a double to left-center to score Blake Schmidt who reached base on looper over the shortstop. Schmidt got into scoring position with a steal.
“That’s our game, we steal bases, move guys up and be patient at the plate,” Klingler said. “It’s about getting people in scoring position and not making mental mistakes.”
