On the mound, she  struck out six batters over  six innings while giving up just two earned  (and one unearned) runs off   five  hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn&#8217;t  given up  more than one  walk any time she&#8217;s  pitched this season. She was also big at the plate,  going 1-for-4 with one  stolen base, one  run,  and one  RBI.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ID6793b21473ea4592a272778a35471676\" style=\"width:48px;height:48px;border-radius:24px;\" class=\"infosentience-float-left \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774523228_211_a29db514-c300-4bc1-8820-e76843f52385.gif\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display=\" none=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"ID58803718368e404d81d7770e2fbd13e2\" style=\"color:#000000;margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:12px;font-family:Siro-Semibold,Siro;font-size:16px !important;font-weight:500;\" class=\"infosentience-standard-text infosentience-float-left \" tabindex=\"-1\"> Mia Tallo<\/p>\n<p>03\/25\/26 @ Hazleton Area205\/19\/25 vs Wyoming Valley West105\/07\/25 @ Scranton Prep105\/06\/25 vs Valley View104\/04\/25 vs Delaware Valley1<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> In other batting news,  the team  relied heavily on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/pa\/scranton\/west-scranton-invaders\/athletes\/mia-tallo\/?careerid=0ljb2ma1uk233\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Mia Tallo<\/a>, who  went 3-for-4 with one  home run, two  runs,  and one  stolen base.
