Somerset barely beat Bald Eagle Area the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Somerset's pitcher stepped up to hand Bald Eagle Area a 6-0 shutout on Wednesday. Considering Somerset has won 13 games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

The result came thanks to Jake Stoy's shutout, as he gave up just four hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Lane Lambert and Kahne Foltz did most of the damage at the plate: Lambert went 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI, while Foltz got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run. That's the most stolen bases Foltz has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Callen Miller, who went 1-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

The win made it two in a row for Somerset and bumps their season record up to 16-2. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Bald Eagle Area, their defeat was their eighth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 4-13.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Somerset will challenge Richland at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Bald Eagle Area, they will head out to challenge Bishop Guilfoyle at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Marauders have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.5 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of.
