Eagles use timely hitting, Jarvis errors to sweep Saturday doubleheader

The Eagle baseball team took both games in Saturday's doubleheader with Jarvis Christian at Dobson Field, setting up a chance for a three-game sweep Sunday when the series finale begins at 11 am. The Eagles (16-16 overall, 10-7 RRAC) took the opener by a 4-2 score, then finished off the day with a 6-3 win over the Bulldogs (14-22, 8-12).

GAME 1

Collin Fenili (4-3) threw a complete game, scattering five hits across seven innings with just two runs allowed and struck out five. The Eagles managed just five hits but made them count as Kyle McMullen doubled in the tying run in the fourth, Masasha Takegama doubled in the go-ahead run, and Hunter Reid added an insurance run in the sixth.

The Eagles also took advantage of four Jarvis Christian errors, while playing a clean game of their own on the defensive side.

GAME 2

The Eagles once again took advantage of sloppy play by Jarvis (4 errors) and Oscar Sanchez (2-4) turned in one of his best outing of the season (7 innings, 5 hits, 2 earned runs, 9 strikeouts) to lead the way to a second win Saturday.

Brandon Riley had two hits, Luke Hyzdu drove in two runs and Pudge Carlisle slapped a double to go with stolen bases by four different players. The Eagles opened with a run in the first inning, only to see Jarvis tie the score in the fourth, but the hosts plated four runs in the bottom half of the inning to go ahead for good.
