SLCC Baseball wins series opener, second game postponed

TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (March 8, 2019) - A weird weather day on the Wasatch Front created unique outcomes for collegiate sports around northern Utah Friday.

With several baseball-and-softball series canceled because of snow and rain across several levels, the Salt Lake Community College baseball team found a way to at least play a game at West Jordan's Cate Field, earning an 11-7 win over the College of Southern Idaho to start a four-game series. The second game of the day was postponed to Saturday. Salt Lake's overall record was boosted to 12-4 and 5-0 in the Scenic West Athletic Conference. 

Salt Lake came out hot at the plate, with the Bruins taking a 7-0 lead after the first inning. Tyler Dean hit a three-RBI double, along with a two-RBI triple by Colton Moore, to give SLCC a dominant lead. The Bruins increased their lead in the second inning with a solo home run by Cole Gambill. Moore also hit another RBI triple to score two more runs. 

The Golden Eagles wouldn't go quietly as a grand slam in the third inning cut the deficit to 10-4, eventually cutting the deficit to 10-5. The Bruins added a final run in the sixth inning with a Alex Bumpas fielder's choice RBI scoring Tanner Argyle. 

Gambill went 2-of-3 at the plate while Moore went 2-of-3 for the day with 4 RBI's. Salt Lake posted 14 hits in the game.

Breck Eichelberger earned the pitching victory, throwing 6.1 innings while striking out 4 batters. Fisher Anderson got the save in the SLCC victory. 

Saturday's games will start at 11:00 a.m. with a doubleheader scheduled for both teams. The teams will now play one game on Sunday.
