Blue Mountain and North Schuylkill met three times this season in Schuylkill League baseball.
Before Thursday’s league championship game in Pine Grove, North Schuylkill had control of the series. They won each game pretty handily.
But in the final game of the Schuylkill League season, it was the Eagles holding the hardware.
Final score: Blue Mountain 6, North Schuylkill 1
Blue Mountain jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Spartans came to bat Thursday. And that was all they needed to claim the 2019 Schuylkill League championship.
Here’s the final out captured on the Blue Mountain baseball team’s Twitter account:
