Golden Eagles Suffer First Loss to Bombers

Bennington, NY - The Glens Falls Golden Eagles were defeated for the second straight night on the road—this time by the Bennington Bombers by a score of 9-3.  The loss to Bennington was the first in franchise history and came only two days after Shane Davis (Canisius) no-hit the Bombers at East Field in Glens Falls.  The Golden Eagles are now 3-3 on the season.

In the same fashion as the night before, the Golden Eagles took a 1-0 lead before the starting pitcher even took the mound when Jonathan White (Vanderbilt) tripled off Bombers starter Keith Rakus (Vermont) and was driven home by team-RBI leader Kody Johnson (Pima CC).  White ended the day 2-4 with a double, triple, walk and a stolen base.

White was joined by Johnson and shortstop Jon Koscso (South Florida) in each collecting two hits.  Johnson went 2-5, keeping his team-leading average at .400.

Golden Eagles starter Will Hassett (Siena) could not repeat his success from his last outing in Bennington and lasted only three innings.  Hassett was awarded the loss.  Jamie Storey (Midland) pitched two innings of scoreless two-hit relief.

The Golden Eagles are next in action on Saturday, June 14 as they host the Little Falls Miners for the first time this season.
