Lupacchini (3-5) struck out 10 and allowed only a one-out walk to Courtney Carr in the eighth inning.

Lindsey Weinstein, Shannon Barceloux and Lupacchini each had two hits for the Eagles (4-6, 3-0 in league play), who won their 23rd consecutive league game.

Weinstein scored the first run in the eighth on a throwing error and the Eagles added two unearned runs.
