The Eagles were led by NAL MVP Senior Gunner Churchโs massive grand slam going 1-2 with a run and 5 RBIโs in the victory! Senior Degan Palos also had a big day going a perfect 3-3 with a run and 2 RBIโs.
Junior SP Aiden Sweet spun another great game going a full five due to the mercy rule with 3 Kโs on 4 hits and only one earned run in the win.
