Streeter fires a two-hit shutout; Myhre and Sanchez go deep as Eagles dominate opener

The Eagles opened the day with a statement, overwhelming OUAZ on both sides of the ball and cruising to a run-rule win behind Claire Streeter's two-hit shutout.

Streeter was untouchable from the first pitch, facing the minimum through two innings and finishing with 5.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 K. She needed just 68 pitches to secure her 13th win of the season.

ERAU's offense backed her immediately. In the first, Jade Bayless ripped a two-run double to right to put the Eagles on the board.

The third inning brought fireworks:

• Kealey Myhre launched a two-run homer to left

• Joy Sanchez added a solo shot in the fifth

ERAU piled on with a four-run fourth, highlighted by:

• Jill Bock's RBI single

Leah Salas' two-run single

The Eagles finished with eight hits from eight different players, showcasing a balanced, relentless lineup.

• Anise Romo's RBI single

After OUAZ tied it, ERAU reclaimed the lead 4–2 in the fourth on Da Costa's RBI groundout.

The game's turning point came in the sixth, when OUAZ erupted for six runs, including a three-run homer from Brianna Humphries. ERAU trailed 8–4 entering the seventh—but the Eagles refused to fold.

• Leah Salas crushed a leadoff homer

• Jamieson lifted a sac fly

• Tlilayatzi doubled

The Eagles carried that momentum into extras, where Jill Bock delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth.
