HUGHESVILLE—If it could, Hughesville still would not change its hitting approaches Tuesday against Bald Eagle Area. It would not change the swings, nor the quality contact it made. Hughesville simply would change the results. Baseball can be a cruel game and the Spartans learned that as well-hit balls kept being drilled right at defenders or finding those hustling defenders' gloves on the run.
