Softball Preview: Boulder City Eagles vs. Basic Wolves

The Boulder City Eagles are taking a road trip to face off against the Basic Wolves at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Boulder City has three straight victories, Basic has 17 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.

Boulder City had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 18-run drubbing they dealt Democracy Prep Agassi Campus on Thursday. The Eagles never let the Blue Knights get on the board and left with an 18-0 win. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Eagles considering their two-run performance the contest before.
