Sandblasters Stumble

Things fell apart in the eighth inning last night for the Three Rivers Sandblasters when they committed two errors and gave up three runs and the lead to the Springfield Titans.  The Titans held the lead through the ninth and came away with the 8-6 win in Florence.

The Sandblasters will be at the North Eugene Tournament beginning today and running through Sunday… then back at home next Tuesday against Corvallis.
