The Goshen Eagles picked up a Class 2A, Area 5 win over the Highland Home Flying Squadron on Wednesday by a score of 6-2.

With the bases loaded, Brodie Wilks hit a line drive single into center field to drive Hunter Nobles home and then Cade Edwarsd was walked with the bases loaded to drive DJ Walters home to extend the Goshen lead to 4-2. Finally, Andrew Galloway belted an RBI single that drove both Wilks and Tyler McLendon home to give the Eagles a 6-2 lead.
