The West Scranton Invaders will head out on the road to take on the Mid Valley Spartans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
West Scranton couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. Their tough 9-3 loss to Wallenpaupack Area on Saturday might stick with them for a while.
Meanwhile, Mid Valley can now show off four landslide victories after their most recent matchup on Wednesday. They never let Lakeland onto the board and left with a 15-0 win. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for Mid Valley considering their two-run performance the contest before.
Ava Hazelton looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (she also didn't allow any walks). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Natalie Barrett, who fired off two home runs, nine RBI, and three runs while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Chiara Zavislak, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, a triple, and two RBI.
West Scranton might still be hurting after the 9-1 defeat they got from Mid Valley in their previous matchup back in March of 2016. Can West Scranton avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
