York's found some homefield redemption this week after a overtime loss to Smithfield on Friday. The Falcons' pitchers stepped up to hand the Jamestown Eagles an 8-0 shutout. Considering the Falcons have won six matches by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Sarah Witt and Bri Petrolia were major factors while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Witt pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Petrolia didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. At bat, Witt went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double, while Petrolia went 3-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. Those two doubles gave Petrolia a new career-high.

In other batting news, Leslee Maldonado was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run was her first of the season. Kenlee Washington was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run.

York kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in eight consecutive contests.

York's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-4. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Jamestown, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-6.
