The Utah State University Eastern Eagles watched the game slip away early and couldn’t recover in a 12-2 loss to the College of Southern Nevada Coyotes on Friday. The Coyotes took the lead on a single in the first inning.

Dylan Hawkes was on the hill for USUE. The left-hander went four innings, allowing six runs on five hits and striking out one.  Wayland Crane threw one inning in relief.

Kaden Davis, Dakari Armendariz, Luke Erickson, Tyler Nelson, and Davis Kirby each managed one hit to lead the Eagles.

USU Eastern then lost the lead late in a 3-2 defeat to CSN in game two.  The game was tied at two with CSN batting in the top of the tenth when Hunter Katschke hit a solo homer.

Tyler Fitch and Micah Del Rio combined for 14 walks, and just three walks on the mound for USU Eastern.

Kaden Davis homered in the bottom of the ninth to keep the Eagles’ hopes alive.

On Saturday, the Eagles will look to sweep the doubleheader, against the Coyotes, to even the series. First pitch is scheduled for 11 am.
