Halifax 11, East Juniata 1 (6 inn.)

HALIFAX — After tying the game in the top of the third, East Juniata’s defense was picked for 10 runs — five of them in the bottom of that frame — as Halifax sent the Tigers home on the down side of an 11-1 Tri-Valley League softball loss Monday.

Highlights for East Juniata included a Tiana Terry double and a 3-for-3 night at the plate by Alyssa Robinson. Not so good were the seven runners left on base after the Tigers matched Halifax with seven hits.

“I think as it has been for our team it’s just fundamentals and mechanics,” East Juniata coach Lauren Maguire said. “We’re playing teams that are very experienced not only offenively but defensively.”

Halifax won the JV game 15-0.
