Eugene, OR: The Boise Hawks and the Eugene Emeralds had to wait for the fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Their game needed 20 innings to be settled. Eventually, well past one o'clock in the morning, Boise won the game 7-5.
An inside the park home run made the difference in the game as outfielder
Boise scored in the top of the 1st inning on a sac fly from Matt McLaughlin to score Steven Linkous. But the lead changed in the game five times all the way up to the 20th inning.
Remarkably, Eugene got four innings of scoreless relief from a catcher. Tyler Payne shut down the Hawks and gave Eugene an opportunity to win every inning until the 20th.
No team, however, scored until the Hawks did in their last opportunity. Earning the win for Boise was reliever
The two teams will play again tonight at 8:05 MT. The Fourth of July fireworks were delayed, but it was the Hawks who enjoyed them at the end of the night with a win.
Goodnight.
