Gowanda Sports Report BY BILL PEGLOWSKI GOWANDA — The No. 2
Gowanda Varsity baseball team had a Class C Final game May 28 against No. 1 Portville at Jamestown Community College. Unfortunately for Gowanda, Portville was on an 11-game winning streak and had a 6-foot-6 left-handed pitcher who was already getting looks from major league teams. After two scoreless innings, Portville got things started in the 3rd inning when a Portville batter was put on first base after being hit by a pitch. An errant pickoff attempt at second sent the runner to third. That was followed by another missed throw at third, allowing Portville to score their first run. Portville went on to score four runs in the inning and never looked back. While Portville rolled on pitching a shutout, Gowanda piled up six errors in the game helping Portville to pile up a total of nine runs. Gowanda batters were put down in order in the final inning for a 9-0 loss.
dison Kota both doubled, with Kota’s hit scoring two Gowanda runs. In the bottom of the inning, a bad throw to third base allowed Falconer to score a run. Another Kota double in the 2nd inning scored two more Gowanda runs taking the score to 4-1. Both teams were able to score single runs in the 3rd inning before a scoreless 4th. Gowanda’s three-run advantage disappeared in the 5th inning with Falconer scoring three runs. With the score tied at five, Gowanda moved back into a tworun lead after both Stevens and Nagel doubled to get on base and eventually score. The 7-5 score held for Gowanda into the 7th inning. Gowanda was unable to increase their lead bringing up Falconer’s final chance. Their first batter blasted a triple into right center field. That was followed by a double and two singles before Gowanda locked down a first out. The score was 8-8 with two runners on base. The next Falconer batter was intentionally walked loading the bases with one out. The next batter hit a single, ending the game as an 8-7 Falconer win.

Eden went on to take a 3-2 lead to an 8-4 advantage. Eden went into halftime with a 9-5 lead. In the second half, the score went to 11-7 with Eden’s 11th point being scored on a falling shot with 16:05 left in the game. A minute later, a yellow card foul called on Eden gave Gowanda a two-minute, one-player advantage, and they made good use of it. Luther scored on the following free shot. Before the advantage ran out, Luther scored again followed by a goal by Lily Scanlan. Gowanda had pulled to within a point of Eden at 11-10, but that would be as close as they would get. Eden scored four unanswered goals while managing to control the ball. With 5:30 left in the game, Eden was content to just pass the ball around to keep it away from Gowanda. The time ran out with a 15-10 Eden win. Leading the Gowanda effort was Chloe Luther with seven goals and three assists.
