Wallenpaupack would respond by scoring two in the bottom half of the inning. Stroudsburg would score to lead 3-2 but that would be the last time they would score until the seventh inning.

Stroudsburg 1B Anthony Knight, 11, led the team in hitting, Knight drove in two runs in his three at-bats. Supplementing,  INF Damian Budhai, 9, and OF Ryan Pacitti, 9, who both drove in a run in the contest.

For Stroudsburg, this is now the third straight affair they have lost by 2 or fewer runs. They are in the midst of a losing streak, the team’s longest since 2021 (April 14-April 23, 4 consecutive losses).

The team looks to bounce back against the dreadful Pocono Mountain West baseball program, who have not won a game this season.

Knight is expected to start on short rest for the Mountaineers.
