SYRACUSE – After Wawasee took the lead in the top of the sixth inning, East Noble scored twice in the home half of the frame to take a 5-4 win at Warrior Field Monday. The game was moved from Kendallville due to wet grounds there. The Knights scored twice in the second inning to take the lead, then the Warriors tied the game in the top of the fourth. East Noble retook the lead in the bottom of the fourth before Wawasee took the lead in the sixth. Rylan Kuhn went 3-for-3 with a double and four runs driven in.
