North Brunswick proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by seven) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 win over the Hoggard Vikings. This was a revenge game for the Scorpions: when they faced off against the Vikings back in March, they had to take a 9-7 defeat.
Shanley Hunt spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on five hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, North Brunswick's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Samantha Morgan, who scored a run while going 1-for-1.
