SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - The College of Southern Idaho Baseball Team fell to sixth-ranked Central Arizona 22-16 Thursday in the opening round of the District Playoff.
The Golden Eagles took the 13-8 lead but a huge inning by CAC in the eighth proved to be too much for CSI to overcome.

The Golden Eagles had big days from several players at the plate.

Chase Higginson was 3-for-5 with two RBI and
Andrew Astin and
Morgan Albrecht were each 2-for-4 with home runs. Astin had two RBI and Albrecht plated three runs.
