Brookville extended their losing streak to three on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 9-7 in the process. They were a single run away from ending the streak, but they lost a 3-2 heartbreaker at the hands of the Eaton Eagles. The Blue Devils were not able to make up for their loss to the Eagles from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
Grace Burton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Brookville saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Rylan Eagle, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run and one double.
As for Eaton, they pushed their record up to 8-5 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games.
On Eaton's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Meredith Pieratt gave up only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits.
At the plate, Ella Statzer was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one triple. That triple was her first of the season.
Looking ahead, Brookville will be playing at home against Carlisle at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday. Eaton will be paying especially close attention to the Blue Devils' contest: after the Blue Devils face off against the Indians, they'll take on Eaton again at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
