SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - The fifth-ranked College of Southern Idaho softball team used some timely hits by catcher Abby Toller to beat Southern Nevada 10-8 Thursday and advance to the undefeated game on Friday at 2:30 p.m. against Salt Lake.
The Golden Eagles trailed early in the game before a grand slam by Toller put them up 7-4 in the bottom of the fifth inning. But the Coyotes weren't done, hitting a solo shot and a 3-run homer in the top of the sixth to regain the lead.
But CSI found a way once again to score some runs. With the bases loaded and two outs, Toller again came through with the big rbi hit to tie the game. Brytni Gurney and Savannah Kirkpatrick each followed with rbi singles to give CSI the final 10-8 tally they didn't give up.

Both Kayla Carter and Marissa Johnson hit home runs in the win.
