Sun Devils let one slip away
The Sierra Sun Devils baseball team let one slip away at the Joe DiMaggio World Series on Saturday near Napa, Calif., losing to the Tri-County (Calif.) Gamblers 7-6 in eighth innings.
Three players who have signed to play with Western Nevada Community College did have solid efforts. Douglas High graduate Chad Walling went 3-for-5 with three RBI, Spanish Springs graduate Brad Carlson hit a three-run home run in the first inning, and Tyson Jaquez went 1-for-3.
The Sun Devils (28-11) left 11 runners on base. With the score tied 6-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Sun Devils had the winning run at third with one out, but hit into a double play. Tri-County scored the winning run in the eighth on a bases loaded walk. The Sun Devils will play at 1 p.m. today in an elimination game against San Francisco.
