Game Story Two

Walks in the fifth inning were all Western Nevada needed to beat the CSI Golden Eagles on Saturday. The Eagles were able to split the day losing the first game 10-6 and winning the second 4-3. Game one started off with a hitting showdown as the Wildcats put up four runs in the first inning. The Eagles answered back with two runs of their own. Until the fifth inning both teams were in a stalemate of scoring. The Coyotes scored five runs in the fifth inning off just three hits. "we gave them a lot of runners," head coach Boomer Walker said. "I'm surprised they only got 10 runs on us. "Usually if you get that many guys base, you're going to score 15." From then on the Eagles could only play catch-up. The pitching staff continued to struggle giving up walk after walk. The Eagles used five different pitchers in the game. Despite scoring three runs in the seventh, it wasn't enough for the Eagles to come back.
