QUINCY--Feather River rallied back twice to eventually post a 11-6 win over Hartnell College in the rubber match of a NorCal Super Regional on Saturday afternoon at the Eagles Nest.
The Golden Eagles season continues with yet another home series next week, this time against West Valley. The days and game times will be the same, beginning on Friday at 2 pm, Saturday at 1 pm and if needed, a Sunday noon start.
Today, FRC scored four times in the second inning, four times in the fifth and had three plate crossings in the eighth. Two of the three times, they erased a deficit with the outbursts.
In the second, trailing 1-0, Noah Carrington drove home two runners with a double and Carter Reilly singled home two more. The first three batters of the inning reached via a error, walk and hit by pitch.
In the fifth, now trailing 5-4, Walker DesRosier brought home two Golden Eagles with a single and Kory Chu singled home another. In the eighth, after the Panthers had closed the gap to 8-6, the Dirty Birds responded with three more runs, the key blow being a Josh Davies 2-RBI double.
Tanner Hail worked the first seven innings and earned the win, allowing only two earned runs, six hits, four walks and eight strikeouts. Jayden Andrade got the two-inning save with one run charged to him, three hits, no walks and he struck out two.
The Golden Eagles will take a 34-13 record into the 3C2A Regional final. They will face the West Valley Vikings, who pulled the stunner of the postseason thus far with a two-game sweep of Fresno City College, who came into the series with a 40-3 record. Feather River is the #5 seed and West Valley is #9. The Vikings are now 32-13-1 on the year.
There are now four teams left in the North and four in the South. The winners of next week's games advances to the Final Four, May 23, at the Great Park in Irvine.
