Tamaqua had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Tri-Valley on Friday. The Blue Raiders were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Bulldogs. Considering the Blue Raiders have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Tamaqua got a great performance from Naomi Knitter as she struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). Knitter has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 14 consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Leah Crowley was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Ceanna Gormley, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.
Tamaqua is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Tri-Valley, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-5.
