Tayler Shook tripled and singled. Mandie Ridge had two singles. Jessica Murrow and Wade had a single apiece.
In the second game, the Eagles had a 5-0 lead after two innings then added four runs in the fourth. Oswego scored a run in the fifth and two in the sixth as Uniontown won 9-3. The game was called with one out in the top of the sixth because of lightning.
Wade and Ridge each connected for a single and a double in the contest for the Eaglles. Coyan and Jurgensen had a single apiece.
Uniontown head coach Alan Shinn said the Eagle defense turned away most all of Oswego’s scoring threats. He said the Eagles turned in two “unconventional double plays” — a line out to second baseman Amber Bartlett and a doubling off the runner at first then an “outstanding running catch” by center fielder Sabrena McAnulty and doubling off a runner at second base.
The Eagles improved to 6-0 in TRL play and 7-1 overall.
