Golden Eagles Pile On After Early Deficit

QUINCY--Feather River rallied back from a 3-0 deficit with a middle innings barrage of runs during a 11-3 win over College of the Siskiyous on Friday afternoon at the Eagles Nest.

The Golden Eagles improved to 25-8 overall and to 15-4 in Golden Valley Conference play. Siskiyous dropped to 5-22-1 on the season and to 3-16 in conference play. The two squads will square off again on Saturday in Quincy for a noon single game, where FRC will try and complete the season sweep of the Eagles (5-0). 

Siskiyous built a 3-0 lead through their first four top half innings, but the Golden Eagles bounced back after that. The home team scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth and five more in the fifth to take control of the contest and kept the Eagles off the board the rest of the contest.

In the fourth, FRC scored those four runs on just three hits, using a pair of sacrifice flies for two runs and a Rocco Crow stolen base with two errors on the same play to plate four. In the fifth, the Golden Eagles pounded out six hits which included a two-run single by Nick Anderson and RBI-base knocks by Shane Danley and Grant McGuire.

The hosts added two more for good measure in the seventh, partially due to Landon Sable's double. 

Feather River had 13 hits in the game, 12 of them singles. They also stole five bases. Dylan Marx, Anthony Cepeda, Danley and McGuire had two hits each. Cepeda boosted his GVC-leading batting average to .435 with the 2-for-5 day. 

Tanner Hail got the start on the mound, and got the win with seven innings of work, seven hits, one earned run, one walk and four strikeouts. Hail improved to 6-3 on the season with a 2.81 ERA. Michael Hoefgen and Bradyn Schneider each threw a scoreless inning in relief.
