The Springtown Porcupines will take on the Eagle Mountain Knights at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Springtown is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.2 runs per game this season.
Springtown is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Decatur just ended the team's eight-game winning streak on Saturday. They took a 12-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Eagles.
Reiss DeLaFuente made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-4 with one home run. Another player making a difference was Ryleigh Morris, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI.
DeLaFuente wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Springtown lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in February.
Meanwhile, Eagle Mountain earned a 7-4 win over Decatur on Tuesday.
Ashlyn Eggleton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 14 Ks. Those 14 strikeouts gave her a new career-high.
At the plate, Olivia Wilson was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high.
Eagle Mountain is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-10-1 record this season. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to hits: they averaged an imposing 9.2 hits in those games compared to only 4.67 in the others. Springtown's loss was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 4-1 and their overall record down to 12-6.
