Etiwanda rallied late on Monday to remain in the hunt for a second consecutive Baseline League championship.

Entering the final two weeks (six league games), the Eagles trailed Damien by one game.

The Spartans shut out RCHS, 7-0, on Monday, and EHS trailed, 5-2, in the top of the seventh at Los Osos.

Etiwanda, however, got five in the top of the inning, and held on for a 7-5 victory over the Grizzlies.

Brady Ebel went the distance, and he allowed two earned runs on six hits.

The Eagles sophomore didn’t issue a walk and fanned three LOHS batters.

Anthony Huezo’s second double of the game got the Eagles to within one of the Grizzlies.

Tyler McEvoy, who just returned to the lineup, clutched up with a two-out RBI single to tie the game at 5-5.

After Parker Sobiesiak was hit by pitch, Tyler Shigenaka’s two-run double plated Sobiesiak and pinch-runner Blake Torres, and the Eagles had their first lead of the game at 7-5.

Ebel went 3-for-4, including a double, run and two RBIs.

Huezo doubled twice, scored a pair of runs and had one RBI.
