Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (March 15, 2019) -  Baseball is a funny sport in how it ebbs-and-flows.

Take the Salt Lake Community College baseball team; the Bruins started the season at 0-4 after falling to South Mountain Community College, starting slow at the plate and on the mound. Those late January games seem like an incredibly distant memory now as Salt Lake has now won 16 games in a row, powering to a 9-0 start to the Scenic West Athletic Conference season.

The Bruins swept USU Eastern in a Scenic West doubleheader Friday, powering to 5-3 and 9-5 wins in Price. Salt Lake utilized timely hitting to earn the wins, with a Brody Colledge home run in the first game leading SLCC to an impressive victory.

Salt Lake and the Eagles will play two more games on Saturday in Price, with doubleheader action scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m. The Bruins will host Idaho State University's club team next weekend at Cate Field in West Jordan.
