The Junior Eagles looked to get back into the win column after a thrashing by Steele Canyon and they did in a big way trouncing host Monte Vista 16 – 2.
Granite sent 9 girls to the plate in 4 of the 5 innings, with a combination of hits and Monte Vista mistakes.
The Lady Eagles opened the game scoring 5 times in the 1st while collecting 5 hits with the big blow being a triple by Annette,
Granite then scored 3 more in the 2nd which was highlighted by a lead off homerun by Kelsey over the centerfield fence.
In the fourth and fifth innings the “subs” decided to put the game out of reach by scoring 8 more times on a combined 8 hits, these last two innings saw Kristen, Amanda and Caity collect two hits each and Kelsey contributed with an RBI triple in the 4th.
Solid pitching by both Caity (3 innings) and Roxanna (2 innings) and good defense kept the home team from threatening as Granite Cruised to an easy win.
The next and final game is against arch rival Valhalla.
