MANSFIELD - Athens scored early, often, and in every inning in a 19-7 rout of North Penn-Mansfield here Tuesday in NTL Large School Division action.
The Wildcats, now 11-2, edged NP-Mansfield, 4-3, at home just 10 days ago.
Athens took advantage of five base on balls in the first inning, and a key Mansfield error to plate four runs.
The Tigers answered in the home half with one run to close the gap to 4-1, but an RBI single by junior Kam Wheeler in the top of the second pushed the lead back to four runs, at 5-1.
The Wildcats scored five more runs in the third inning, four coming with two outs, to extend their lead to 10-1.
