Jacks earn close victory over Tigers
QUINCY — The Quincy Jackrabbits (6-9) battled against a Central Washington Athletic Conference rival, the Ephrata Tigers (3-15), Tuesday evening in the first of their two Battle of the Basin games this season. The Jacks came out victorious on their home field with a 3-2 win over the Tigers. “We did what we needed to do,” said Jacks Head Coach David Garza. “We were able to make plays that kind of slowed everything down for Ephrata. There were a couple mental errors on both sides, but we were able to take advantage of their mistakes and capitalize.” The Jacks were the first on the board as they scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning after Jaxon Porter walked and Rocko Reyes hit a sacrifice fly, each scoring one run. The Tigers struggled to get things going as they went scoreless in the first three innings.
Eagles claim a strong victory at home
SOAP LAKE — The Soap Lake Eagles (3-5-1) hosted the Entiat Tigers, Tuesday evening and earned a 6-2 victory. As the Eagles make their way through the remainder of the season, they hope to keep up their steady improvement. “I think the first half went kind of slow, the wind was on our side, but we still couldn’t make the shot,” said Nazar Goloborodko from the Eagles. “(In the) second half we gained more confidence; that’s where the game went up.” The game started out contested as neither team put up a score in the opening half. Soap Lake was persistent at the opposing goal toward the end of the half; the Eagles went into halftime with 13 shots on goal, but no points earned.
