  The Eagles brought the bats out early in a five-inning home game against Lynn Tech. Anna Tracey brought in the first run with a double to right field to bring Sophia Marcus to third base before stealing home. Mystic Valley scored another run with a miscue from the Tigers’ pitcher to bring home Tracey. Ella Mangone walked to first before Emily DeLeire hit a single. JoJo Tu’s walk to first loaded the bases. Kyra Conti was up to bat for the Eagles as Mangone, DeLeire and Tu all stole home – 5-0 Mystic Valley.

  After the Eagles scored two runs via walks in the second inning, Ashley Grifone hit a single with bases loaded, bringing Tu home. Sophia Marcus walked before Bailey DeLeire hit a double to left field, hitting Grifone home – 9-0 Mystic Valley.

  After four more walks, Marcus would break the streak with a single hit to left field to bring home Jadyn Carroll – 14-0 Mystic Valley. Lynn Tech would step it up in the third inning with a two-run impact. The Eagles wouldn’t let their foot off the gas pedal, smashing hits and bringing home seven more runs before the end of the game. Final score: 21-2 Mystic Valley.
