Making their breaks with defense

THE DALLES second baseman Payton Eaton gobbles up a ground ball hit his way during baseball action in The Dalles. Wednesday in Hillsboro, the No. 7-ranked Eagle Indians defeated Hillsboro, 2-1 in nine innings.

Since losing a pair of one-run games earlier this season to Marist and Bend, No. 7 The Dalles has proven the mantra that turnabout is fair play with back-to-back one-run victories of their own.

The first of those one-run wins came last Thursday at home versus 6A Century.
