Muncy senior pitcher Nolah Moyer, who is committed to Division I St. Bonaventure, along with catcher Taylor Shannon, led their team to a 13-0 victory over Bucktail. This win secured Muncy’s second consecutive Mid-Penn championship. Moyer pitched a one-hit shutout, went 3 for 3 at bat, hit a home run, and drove in five runs. Shannon also had a standout game, going 3 for 3 with two home runs and five RBIs. Muncy finished with an undefeated record of 17-0, going 11-0 in the league.

Moyer reached over 200 strikeouts for the season and recorded her 15th shutout. She started the game with a two-run home run in the first inning, setting the tone for the rest of the game. In the second inning, Moyer delivered a two-RBI single to extend Muncy’s lead to 3-0. Shannon added a three-run home run to make it 8-0, securing the win for Muncy. Bucktail’s Gianna Balchun broke up Moyer’s no-hit bid in the fifth inning.

Muncy will face Mifflinburg at home in their next game, while Bucktail will play Jersey Shore in Farwell. Casey Fry and Kaylyn Rice contributed with doubles for Muncy, with Rice driving in a run and Fry scoring three times. The final score of the game was 13-0 in favor of Muncy after five innings of play.

Both teams displayed strong performances, but Muncy’s dominant offense and stellar pitching by Moyer proved to be too much for Bucktail. The win solidified Muncy’s position as a top contender in the league. They will look to maintain their unbeaten record as they head into the home stretch of the season.
