North Schuylkill took a eight-run loss the last time they faced off against Blue Mountain, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Spartans came out on top in a nail-biter against the Eagles on Tuesday, sneaking past 3-1. This was a revenge game for the Spartans: when they faced off against the Eagles back in March, they had to take a 11-3 defeat.
Brigid Flynn made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
