RBI-singles by Lenox and Kevin Kirk.
The Eagles took the lead in the sixth on a run-scoring double by
Brett Howell and added an unearned run in the eighth to lead
9-7.

victory. Lenox recorded the save, allowing one run in the final two
innings.
Lenox also led the offense, going 4-for-5 three RBIs. Aaron Read

each contributed two hits.
