Blue Mountain was handed a heart-breaking two-run defeat in their last contest, but they sure didn't let that happen against Minersville on Saturday. The Eagles never let the Miners get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Eagles have won six matchups by more than seven runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Blue Mountain let Anna Borden and Addyson Fishburn run wild. Borden went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI, while Fishburn went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs. Fishburn is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's snagged at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Abigail Phillips also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen bases of the season.

Blue Mountain always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .586. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Minersville only posted an OBP of .176.

Blue Mountain's victory bumped their record up to 7-1. As for Minersville, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-6.

Coming up, Blue Mountain will venture away from home to challenge North Schuylkill at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Eagles 1.6, the Spartans 1.7) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Minersville, they will host Nativity BVM at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Green Wave have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.86 runs per game on average), something the Miners will no doubt try to take advantage of.
