2.

Towanda took the lead for good in the top of the 5th inning scoring a single
run.  Towanda finished with just 6 hits in the victory.  

The winning pitcher was Espinosa(3-1) who allowed 2 runs in 8 innings.

Rick Langford(0-1) took the loss.  

Towanda now has a record of a division leading 28-15.  Steve Sustakowski was
pretty down after the loss.  'We've really been sputtering along lately,
something like 0-10 in the last week or two.  That won't get it done.'
