The red-hot Golden Eagles stayed undefeated last Thursday, March 27, with an 8-5 win on the road at Clearfield.
Led by strong performances in the box by Ashton Walk, Landon Hamer and Wyatt Kustenbauder, The Golden Eagles soared to a 5-0 record.
After a huge win two days prior against the Bellefonte Red Raiders, the Golden Eagles had confidence heading into the matchup with the Bison.
Senior Ashton Walk expressed what is the key to the team’s success.
“We all just believe in each other, if someone makes a mistake everyone is there to pick them up. It makes the team morale much better.” Walk said.
This focus was used big time in the game. Tyrone had 2 errors early but they made sure to make up for them either at the plate or the next ball that came to them.
Sophomore Carter Price pitched a gem in his first Varsity start. He pitched 6.1 innings allowing only 3 hits and 4 earned runs. He also accumulated 5 strikeouts. Junior Eli Woomer came in to close after Price hit his pitching limit.
Seniors Landon Hamer and Ashton Walk smoked a home run each over the left field wall that gave the Golden Eagles 5 of their runs.
The Golden Eagles improved to 5-0 and the Bison fell to 2-2.
The batting attack in the first five games is what is boosting the Golden Eagles. They have a team batting average of .310. They are back in action Tuesday, April 1st, against undefeated Punxatawney.
This will be a huge test for the Golden Eagles. Punxy carries depth and experience every year.
