Smith watched from the dugout for the first seven innings as his North Parkland teammates did everything they could Monday against Oley-Topton to get eliminated from the Region 2 American Legion tournament. The Buffaloes gave up runs with sloppy play in the field and left runners stranded on third base with less than two outs multiple times. It added up to a seven-run deficit. "[Oley-Topton] wasn't making that many good plays and we were making bad decisions in the field and not hitting," Smith observed.
