The Braves scored 3 runs in both the 2nd and 3rd innings, added one in the 5th, then 4 in the 6th to end the game early.

Wellsboro had just one hit in the game, a single in the 2nd inning from junior Ryder Bowen.

"Looking back at our schedule this season, it's quite amazing we were able to get all 20 games in," concluded Smith. "For that, we are appreciative for everyone who made that happen."

Wellsboro finishes the season 8-12 overall and 7-8 in the NTL Large School Division.
