The Lone Pine Golden Eagles nine have turned the corner, logging back-to-back wins over Silver Valley (8-1) last week and over the Mammoth Huskies (16-6) Tuesday.
The corner turned was the nasty error corner. The Eagles have solid pitching and strong offense, but until the game with the Silver Valley Trojans, have been plagued by defensive errors.
âWe had no errors against Silver Valley,â said coach Mike Button.
The win avenges the Eaglesâ season-opening loss, 10-13, to the Trojans last month, a defeat that was rife with errors.
