The Eagles lost to Washington on Monday, 11-1. They fell the next day at DeSoto, 3-1.

In the first inning, Sullivan drew first blood with one run. Cambrian Koch hit a fly ball single and Gavin Schmidt hit a ground ball and landed on an error. Koch advanced to third on the same play. Chase Blue scored Koch with a sacrifice ground ball. The Eagles couldn’t connect on another run and Washington tallied six runs in the first inning. The Jays added five more runs during the game to secure the win.

Sullivan struggled on the mound with Lane Blankenship giving up seven runs and Dayton Skaggs giving up four runs. The combined pitchers gave up eight hits.

DeSoto

The DeSoto Dragons got the action started early on Tuesday. They tallied two runs in the first and picked up another run in the fifth inning. The Eagles tried to recover by scoring a run in the sixth, but couldn’t secure the win. Blue blasted a long home run to right field and that put Sullivan on the board. Sullivan fell to DeSoto, 3-1.

The pitching was strong for Sullivan with Koch on the mound. He struck out six Dragons and only gave up six hits.
