Behind the gutsy pitching of Phil Spotteck and the bats of Tom Novello and Chris Widmer, the Eagles clinched the 2001 A-3 conference title by defeating Mepham, 7-5. Spotteck went the distance for the win, giving up 2 earned runs and scattering 7 hits and striking out 6. Tom Novello sparked a 3 run 4th inning with his solo homerun. After Mepham hit a game tying homerun in the bottom of the 5th, the Eagles responded and Chris Widmer hit the game winning 2 run triple in the top of the 6th. Widmer was 3 for 4 with 3 RBI's.
