The Junction Eagles are taking a road trip to challenge the Mason Punchers at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
If Junction beats Mason with 19 runs on Tuesday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two contests with that exact score. Everything went the Eagles' way against Center Point on Monday as they made off with a 19-2 victory. With that win, the Eagles brought their scoring average up to 6.4 runs per game.
Alicia Villanueva made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. Villanueva was even better at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and one triple. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
