BOISE, Idaho - The Boise Hawks jumped out to an early lead on the Eugene Emeralds but could not hold on as the Emeralds evened the three games series, winning by a score of 8-3.
The Hawks got on the board first for the second night in a row after Kevin Padlo hit an RBI single up the middle to drive in Yonathan Daza and give the Hawks the early 1-0 lead.
In the fifth inning, Emeralds starting pitcher, Carson Sands hit Collin Ferguson with pitch before giving up the first professional hit to Hawks outfielder, Brian Carroll. A balk and a wild pitch from Sands allowed Ferguson to score the Hawks second run of the game.
