The Invaders put the hurt on the Warriors with a sharp  12-2 victory. The Invaders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by ten  runs or more this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/pa\/scranton\/west-scranton-invaders\/athletes\/kaleiah-connor\/?careerid=82dkp42potb55\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Kaleiah Connor<\/a> made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she  didn&#8217;t allow a single  earned run over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn&#8217;t  given up  more than two  walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate,  going 1-for-2 with two  RBI. That&#8217;s the most  RBI  she has posted since back in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> In other batting news, West Scranton let <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/pa\/scranton\/west-scranton-invaders\/athletes\/sophia-deluca\/?careerid=ejv597rt193j3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Sophia Deluca<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/pa\/scranton\/west-scranton-invaders\/athletes\/mia-tallo\/?careerid=0ljb2ma1uk233\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Mia Tallo<\/a> run wild. Deluca  went 2-for-3 with one  home run, two  runs,  and two  RBI, while  Tallo  got on base  in all four of her plate appearances with two  runs, two  RBI,  and one  double. That&#8217;s the most  RBI  Deluca has posted since back in May of 2025. The team also got some help courtesy of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/pa\/scranton\/west-scranton-invaders\/athletes\/mckenna-brudnicki\/?careerid=bq4almitag3bb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Mckenna Brudnicki<\/a>, who  went 1-for-2 with two  RBI and one  run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> West Scranton was getting hits left and right  and  finished the game having  posted a batting average of .375. They are  a perfect 4-0 when  they post a batting average of .375 or better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\">The  win was  the fourth in a row for West Scranton, bringing their record up to 8-5. The  victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Delaware Valley, they have  been struggling recently as they&#8217;ve  lost six of their last seven games. That&#8217;s put a noticeable dent in their 2-9 record  this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> West Scranton will face off against North Pocono at 1:00  p.m.  on Saturday. The Trojans&#8217; pitching crew has only allowed 4.1  runs per game  this season, so the Invaders&#8217; hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Delaware Valley, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Western Wayne  at 4:30  p.m.  on Thursday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they&#8217;ve allowed seven  runs per game on average), something the Warriors will no doubt try to take advantage of.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Invaders 04\/28\/26 vs Delaware Valley1004\/17\/26 @ Scranton Prep1004\/02\/26 vs Wyoming Valley West1003\/31\/26 @ Delaware Valley1003\/25\/26 @ Hazleton Area10&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":["post-180978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
