Jamestown Eagles falls to AHP Rustlers, Calgary Cubs

Jun. 14—LETHBRIDGE, Canada — The Jamestown Post 14 Eagles saw their comeback attempt fall just short in an 8-7 loss to the AHP Rustlers on Saturday, June 14, at the Lethbridge Elks' Spitz Field.

The Rustlers (6-25) scored two runs in the top of the first to go up 2-0 before they added three more in the second to take a 5-0 lead. The Eagles responded with one in the second to make it 5-1 before another Rustlers run pushed their lead out to 6-1 in the top of the fourth.

The Eagles' (5-8) biggest inning of the day came in the bottom of the fourth when Bennett Goehner scored on an error to make it 6-2 before two more runs came home to trim the deficit to 6-4. The score stayed that way until the seventh when the Rustlers appeared to put the game out of reach with a two run frame to go up 8-4 but the Eagles had other ideas with a Kale Verke single scoring tow runs to bring it to within two runs at 8-6 and then a single from Goehner getting the score to within one. However, a groundout ended the game.
