Eagle Point tops Phoenix PHOENIX � Eagle Point scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning and knocked off Phoenix, 9-7, in non-conference baseball Friday. The win was the Eagles� first in five games. Phoenix dropped to 1-2. Chris Boyd got Eagle Point started with a one-out walk in the top of the seventh. He advanced to second on passed ball and to third on a wild pitch before scoring on Brandon Willer�s single. Willer moved to second on a fielder�s choice and scored on single by Brian Sands. Phoenix didn�t threaten in the bottom of the seventh. Ryan Garrett drove in four runs for the Eagles, one coming on a triple. He had two hits. Sans was 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI, and Greg Horn was 2-for-4 and scored three runs. Eric Kessler, who had two RBIs, and Landon Rhodes were each 2-for-3 for the Pirates.

SHELDON 5, SOUTH MEDFORD 3 � At Eugene, three South Medford errors led to three unearned runs and third-ranked Sheldon defeated the Panthers in a non-conference game. Senior right-hander Matt Skundrick limited Sheldon to six hits, struck out nine and walked three, but shoddy defense did him in. After Sheldon scored a pair of unearned runs in the second inning, South Medford pushed across three runs in the top of the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. Singles by Matt Smith and John McCollum, Ryan Heil�s sacrifice fly and Jimmie Maddox�s RBI double enabled the Panthers to go on top. But Derek Martel�s two-run single in the sixth put Sheldon ahead to stay, and Jason Welch�s RBI single provided the Irish an insurance run. Maddox went 3-for-3 for the Panthers.
