Chris Arroyo (5) came in relief and threw really good for the Eagles and kept them in the game. The Eagles stranded together hits in the last inning and ended up scoring three runs to win.

“Our bats came out slow this game but then we had to get it done in the last inning for the win,” catcher Chris Mackenna (24) says.

On April 13, the team will play a home game against American Heritage School.
