D-days drop fifth straight

AUBURN - They had the advantage in hits, but an edge in errors and a tough pitching performance led to a fifth straight Auburn Doubledays loss on Thursday.

Josh Wells struggled in his second straight start, giving up all six Williamsport runs in the Doubledays' 6-2 loss at Falcon Park. Auburn dropped five games behind first-place Batavia in the Pinckney Division with the loss.

Wells (5-4) threw well in his first two innings of work, fanning two as no Crosscutters reached base. That was until the Doubledays committed two of their three errors and Wells' pitches got more and more shaky. The Crosscutters scored twice in the third off two hits and the two miscues, but then tallied four more runs in the fourth before Wells was pulled in favor of Danny Farquhar with one out after six batters.
