SALAMANCA — The Salamanca Lizards couldn’t stay undefeated after getting shutout 3-0 on Friday to the Dansville Gliders.

It was a completely different game compared to the last time the two teams played. Just on Monday, the Lizards won 11-1 over Dansville.

But this time Glider starting pitcher Seth Whitney helped make the Lizards lifeless. He threw six innings with two hits allowed. He only struck out two, but efficiency was certainly on his side.

Dansville also picked up two early runs to establish the lead. A Glider single and a Lizard error helped get Dansville into scoring position in the first inning, another single brought the run in. Then a two out double brought in a runner at first base in the second.

Salamanca starter Kolden McCall pitched six innings with eight hits and two earned runs. He wasn’t the problem for Salamanca, but not enough hitting was.

Even though the Lizards could get contact throughout their lineup, they couldn’t get on base. Walks weren’t even a factor, drawing three all game. A stark contrast compared to 13 that they drew on Monday.

The best shot they had was in the eighth inning, when a single and two walks loaded the bases with just one out. But that didn’t even produce anything, with two popouts ending the opportunity in dull fashion.

Lizard reliever Nate Tyler pitched four scoreless innings to finish the game for Salamanca. Still, the Lizards came away with their first loss of the young 2025 season.

Now 2-1, Salamanca will go on the road Saturday to take on the Horseheads Hitmen. Their next home game is at 4:44 p.m. Sunday against the Hornell Steamers.
