Eagles edge Bearcats in baseball with help from play at the plate
EUPORA – Eupora’s Cullen Harrison and the Bearcats’ Colin West were locked into a great one in the four innings before things got interesting. After the Eagles got the first runs of the game in the fifth, Baldwyn answered right back. A base hit looked to have been bringing in the tying run to the plate in the sixth, but the arm of Ty Murphy negated it as he eliminated the runner on a seed of a throw to the plate.
That play gave Eupora all the juice it needed to get the final four outs of the game and secure a thrilling 2-1 win to take game one.
