Tuesday had the Eagles on the road to face conference foe Hill City. The Hornets were looking to repay the Eagles for an earlier loss this season.

Austin Likens took the hill for the Eagles and didn't seem to have his good "stuff" going yet fought through and kept the Eagles close through three innings. Trailing 3-0 entering the top of the third the Eagles pushed across 5 runs as the bats came alive and the Eagle runners forced the Hornets into mistakes. The Hornets would come back for three of their own in the bottom of the third to take back the lead at 6-5. Zak Nornberg entered to pitch for the Eagles and he and the Hornet hurler would exchange scoreless frames going into the 7th. Eagle hitters once again woke up and put the pressure on the Hornets as the Eagles plated four more to take a 9-6 lead into bottom of the 7th and Nornberg disposed of the Hornets in order to earn a well-deserved come from behind 9-6 victory.

Leading the way for the Eagle bats this game were; Evan Daudt 3-4, Zak Nornberg 3-5 and 3 RBI, Dustin Sepin- 2 RBI and Marcus Woods were both 2-4, while Cooper Kovall reached base all four at bats with a hit, two walks and got hit by a pitch. The team left 12 on base, and with a couple more well timed 2 out hits would have blown the game wide open.
