Logan Geas and Dominic Moore, AIW
Geas and Moore won the only two contested matches by fall and host Aquidneck Island Wrestling needed the points as it edged Davies 42-36 on Wednesday. Davies had a 36-30 edge on the Middletown/Rogers/Portsmouth co-op squad in the 11 matches decided by forfeit. But Geas’s fall in the 138-pound bout and Moore’s pin in the 160-pound match pushed the needle in Middletown’s favor.
