Eagles Bounce Back Against Mariners 4-12-35 Franky Martinez
Las Vegas Eagles - 10 Seattle Mariners - 4
The Eagles had just been swept by their rival, the Hawaii Whales, and we're looking to bounce back in any way possible. Today they had Ando Masahashi, the lone victim in the Eagles rotation that didn't face the Whales, looked to get it going against Jared Washburn.
In the bottom of the second Willie the Kid blooped a two run RBI single giving the Eagles an early two run advantage. Gordon Freeman would add onto the lead with an RBI single in the third, extending the Eagles lead to three. The bottom of the fifth highlighted David So, as he knocked in an RBI single as well to give the Eagles a four to nothing lead.
The Mariners looked to climb back when, in the top of the sixth, Richie Sexson blasted a two run double into the deep left center field gap to reduce the deficit to two runs.
The Eagles wasted no time getting the runs back and then some. The bottom of the sixth started off with a Nakamura lead off triple into the left center gap. Two place hitter KiD CuDi then blasted an opposite field homer, getting the two runs back and making it a six to two lead. But the Eagles were far from done. Troy So and Dan Martia would hit consecutive doubles to make it a seven to two lead. Raymond Smith then hit an RBI single, driving in Martia. After a Freeman single, Kanye West would hit into a double play to end the four run inning.
In the top of the eighth inning, Adrian Beltre would blast a two run double, almost identical to Sexson's, but that would be all for the Mariners. The Eagles would tack on two more, then hang on to give the Eagles a ten to two victory.
