Is this considered a win? On Tuesday, Stroudsburg softball loss against Emmaus 3-2. The Mountaineers played hard and kept up the Hornets throughout the game and lost in the very end by a walk off. Jordan Cook ’27 quotes ” It’s impressive knowing that Emmaus has always been a strong team. We should be proud that our game was only 2-3 instead of 1-11 like last year.” She also adds her thoughts on the team and how much they have improved and said “our team has improved so much since last year, taking wins away from Lehigh Valley teams that beat and/or mercied us. We’ve broken years of winning streaks for teams like Easton and Northampton, who’s been beating us since 2016.” These are the stats for the game:

Kentucky, Texas, Alabama, and Louisiana are also trying for this push as well.
