The game against MDI was truly something special. The offensive lineup displayed a formidable strength, with key contributions from players like Schildroth and Sullivan. Sullivan even managed to hit a solo home run! The Eagles dominated the game, outhitting MDI 10-4, and their error-free defense behind Stevens was a crucial factor in their success.

Hannah Lawson’s two-run double was pivotal during that critical moment, and it reminded everyone that every play counts!
