Decatur fell victim to Springtown and their airtight pitching crew on Monday. They lost 6-0 to the Porcupines. The Eagles were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Porcupines earlier this season, when they won 12-7.
Alexa Beeson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and five unearned) runs on eight hits.
