Schuylkill Haven-Tamaqua

In every bit of a pitchers’ duel, it was Schuylkill Haven that escaped with a 1-0 win over Tamaqua.

While the Hurricanes’ Gracelyn Line and the Blue Raiders’ Naomi Knitter battled within the pitcher’s circle each inning, all the game needed was a single run to decide the outcome. And, in the top of the sixth, the Hurricanes’ Ally Becker doubled to provide that single run when Teagan Wehr, who earlier singled, crossed home plate.

Naomi Knitter suffered the pitching setback, as she gave up five hits, walked one and struck seven. Peyton Faust allowed two hits, no runs and struck out three in two innings of relief.

Kolbe Robb and Ceanna Gormley were the lone Raiders to collect hits off the Hurricanes’ pitcher.
