EPHRAIM, Utah - It will not go down as the two prettiest wins of the season, but the College of Southern Idaho Softball Team took its winning streak to eight games with the 8-7 and 13-9 wins over Snow College Saturday in Scenic West Athletic Conference play.
In game one, the Golden Eagles left nine runners on base but scored just enough for the win.
Reagan Rex was 2-for-2 with two RBI,
Markessa Jensen was 2-for-4 with two RBI,
Gracie Tentinger was 2-for-3 and
Brylee Bigelow was 1-for-2 with two walks.
In the circle,
Gracie Walters earned her second win of the weekend, going six innings and giving up seven earned runs with three strikeouts.
Brooke Merrill got the save, pitching the final one innings, giving up no runs on one hit.
The Golden Eagles jumped out to a 9-0 lead in game two, scoring four in the first inning off the Badgers starter and five in the second inning off their first reliever.
But the CSI bats went cold for a bit and the defense did too.
