The Duanesburg Eagles will venture away from home to face off against the Schenectady Patriots at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Duanesburg has three straight wins, Schenectady has 16 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Duanesburg had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Middleburgh on Monday. The Eagles never let the Knights get on the board and left with a 12-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won five games by seven runs or more so far this season.
Genevieve Rickert made a big impact no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
