The Flagstaff Eagles will face off against the Goldwater Bulldogs at 3:45 p.m. on Monday. The timing is sure in Flagstaff's favor as the team sits on three straight wins at home while Goldwater has been banged up by five consecutive losses on the road.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times Flagstaff and Coconino had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Eagles were the clear victors by an 8-1 margin over the Panthers on Wednesday. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by seven runs or more this season.
