Box Score 1 | Box Score 2The Utah State University eastern Eagles and Colorado Northwestern Spartans collided for the final two games of the series, which ended in a 1-1 day for USU Eastern.

The Spartans shut down the Eagles in game one, winning 4-0, but USUE bounced back in the series finale, 3-2 to even the series.

Eastern’s hitters we limited to just five hits, and one walk, as CNCC’s pitcher proved to be too much for the Eagles.

Gavin Douglas had two hits to lead Eastern, but the Eagle bats lapsed with runners on base, leaving five Eagles stranded.

Despite leaving seven runners on base, the Eagles bounced back to win a 3-2 thriller over CNCC.

CNCC jumped out to a 2-0 lead over Eastern after stringing together multiple hits.

Conner Bancroft scored on a Spartan error to cut the lead to one run.

Tyler Nelson hit a sacrifice fly to score Davis Kirby, and tie the game at two, headed into the bottom of the sixth.

Both pitchers, for Eastern and CNCC, held the other scoreless until Deavin Lopez drove a solo home run over the right-field wall to give Eastern the late 3-2 lead. Pitcher Micah Del Rio closed the door on the Spartans as USU Eastern earned a split of the series.

Micah Del Rio earned the win on the mound after tossing five scoreless innings, striking out six batters and walking three. Del Rio did not surrender a hit in his innings of work.

The Eagles will return to the field next weekend as they will return to Salt Lake to face the Bruins of Salt Lake Community College.
