Selinsgrove was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They took a 15-11 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Line Mountain Eagles. Selinsgrove was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Line Mountain apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2023.
Alyvia Herrold stepped up to lead a balanced group of hitters: she scored four runs while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Grace Landis, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
On Line Mountain's side, Madylinn Grindstaff was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits (she also only allowed one walk). Grindstaff was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing five bases while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances.
