Blake Batory found the back of the net three times and Keenan Hall added two more goals as Blue Mountain flew past their rivals, Pottsville Area, Tuesday evening at the Eagles Nest.
Batory scored early for the Eagles, taking a pass in midfield and weaving his way through the Crimson Tide defense. He fired a shot across the ground that made its way into the far corner of the Pottsville goal.
A little more than 20 minutes later, Batory scored again on his way to a hat trick and a Division I victory for the Eagles.
Kennan Hall opened the scoring in the second half, padding the Blue Mountain lead. The Eagles maintained possession for much of the night and displayed crisp passing throughout the match.
In the 58th minute, Hall knocked home a cross from Batory to record his brace.
Evan Burcik added a goal for Blue Mountain about a minute after Hall’s second.
