The Mt. Abraham Eagles will head out on the road to square off against the Milton Yellowjackets at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Mt. Abraham has five straight wins, Milton has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
It was a Battle of the Birds when Mt. Abraham took on Missisquoi Valley on Friday. The Eagles were the clear victors by a 13-5 margin over the Thunderbirds. Considering the Eagles have won six games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Abe Ready made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one hit in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs.
