North Pocono dropped their record down to 14-4 on Monday, which also ended the team's four-game streak of wins. They took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Abington Heights Comets. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Comets this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 5-4 back in April.

Riley Grambo made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one home run and one stolen base. That home run was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Isabella Forgione, who went 1-for-2 with one home run.

As for Abington Heights, they pushed their record up to 17-2 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games.

On Abington Heights' side, Laurenp Stalica made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Stalica has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

Stalica wasn't the only one making solid contact as eight players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Adrianna Condrad, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Avary Brister was another, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. North Pocono will venture away from home to face off against Scranton at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

As for Abington Heights, they will head out to take on Wallenpaupack Area at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Comets' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Buckhorns have averaged an impressive 6.4 runs per game this season.
