The Bethlehem Eagles\/Banshees<\/a> will face off against the Butler Bears<\/a> at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The timing is sure in Bethlehem’s favor as the team sits on nine straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while Butler has been banged up by four consecutive losses on the road.<\/p>\n

Bethlehem is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. Everything went their way against Bardstown on Monday as they made off with a 22-2 victory. The Eagles\/Banshees might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by six runs or more this season.<\/p>\n

Avah Waits<\/a> was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out six batters over three innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn’t given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter’s box, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one run, one double, and one RBI. That double marked the first that she has hit this season.<\/p>\n
