PINE GROVE —  Senior Aidan Grace delivered a standout performance for Blue Mountain, pitching a complete-game three-hit shutout to lead the Eagles to a 1-0 victory over Pine Grove in a Schuylkill League Division I baseball matchup Wednesday at Stump Stadium.​

Grace struck out seven batters and recorded four 1-2-3 innings, showcasing his dominance on the mound. At the plate, he provided the game’s only run with an RBI single in the top of the fifth inning, bringing home Aiden Finn. Finn had reached base on a bunt single and advanced to third by stealing both second and third bases before Grace’s decisive hit to left field.​

The game was a true pitchers’ duel, with neither team recording an extra-base hit. Pine Grove’s Carson Lengle was impressive in his own right, pitching 6.1 innings, allowing just one run on four hits, and striking out 14. Quinn Brommer relieved Lengle and secured the final two outs for the Cardinals. Offensively, Brommer contributed with two singles for Pine Grove.​

With this win, Blue Mountain improves to 6-4 overall and 5-1 in Schuylkill League Division I play. Pine Grove falls to 5-6 overall and 2-4 in league competition.​
