Epping had won five straight at home, but on Monday they bumped their record up to 8-3 to make it six. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 win over the Pittsfield Panthers. While the Blue Devils didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-10), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Having lost for the first time this season, Pittsfield fell to 7-1. The loss was their first of the season.

For Pittsfield's part, Alex Penney was huge no matter where she played even without the win. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). Penney has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with one run.

Penney wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nika Pereira, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Epping will welcome Raymond at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Pittsfield, they will take on Nute at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
