Having seen their season end at the hands to the Saguaro Sabercats in each of the past two seasons, the Flagstaff Eagles made program history while assuring the streak did not continue.
A back-and-forth battle through the game’s first four innings eventually settled in favor of the No. 14-seeded Eagles, who beat the 10th-seeded Sabercats for the second time in eight days at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
