Swisher allowed just one hit and one earned run while striking out four Eagles.
Offensively, Chase Peck had three hits and drove in three runs and Beau Lonker was three-for-three with two RBIs.
On Friday the Cavs played William Byrd in Vinton and dropped their first Blue Ridge District game of the season, 7-1. The Cavaliers managed just three hits, one of which was a home run by Brady Kish.
Garrett Lonker got the start on the mound and took the loss, allowing four runs in four innings before Jackson Crenshaw finished up. LB is 2-1 in the district with the loss.
