HIGHLIGHTS

  • Things were quiet offensively until back-to-back RBI singles by the Eagles put the home team up 2-0.
  • An RBI single by Robert Post made it 3-0 ERAU in the fifth inning.
  • In the top of the sixth, Clayton Phillips reached on a throwing error to open the floodgates on a four-run frame.
  • A Nick Freeman single put runners on the corners before Jarren Wright grounded out to second to plate Phillips. 
  • Cooper Doughman and Brody Syer then each doubled, to score Freeman and Doughman, as the Warhawks tied the game 3-3. AUM then took the lead as Syer scored on an error by the second baseman.
  • Syer tacked on another RBI with a single in the eighth to add an insurance run for the Warhawks and make it 5-3 AUM.
  • The Eagles got a lead-off homer in the bottom of the ninth to pull with one run at 5-4 and tied the game on a wild pitch. Zach Coldsnow struck out swinging but reached first on the wild pitch, allowing the tying run to come home.
  • After an intentional walk to load the bases, Embry-Riddle earned the victory on a walk-off hit batsman.
