Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Pisgah, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Saturday. They were the clear victors by a 12-5 margin over Skyline on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Eagles considering their one-run performance the game before.
