There's no place like home for Tamaqua, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Notre Dame-Green Pond Crusaders 4-3. For the Blue Raiders, this counts as revenge for the 3-2 victory the Crusaders walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2015.
Naomi Knitter spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Leah Crowley, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double. Another player making a difference was Nico Conahan, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
Tamaqua has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Notre Dame-Green Pond, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-9.
As of now, neither Tamaqua nor the Crusaders have any future games scheduled.
