Bullets top Colt 45s

C.J. Maldanado and Colby Blueberg homered, and Connor Eppard drove in three runs to lead the Nevada Bullets to an 11-7 win over the Redding Colt 45s in a Far West League baseball game Tuesday at Western Nevada College.

Nevada improved to 17-13 overall, and will look to win the series with a win today (at 5 p.m.) at Western Nevada College.

Maldanado and Eppard had four hits apiece, while Tanner Oates had two hits and two RBIs. The Bullets finished with 14 hits, and only two starters failed to hit safely.

Redding took a 3-0 lead in the top of the second against starter/winner Andrew Woeck, but the Bullets bounced back with six in the bottom of the second and one in the third for a 7-3 lead.

Redding scored three more times to make it 7-6, but three in the fourth and one in the fifth made it 11-6 before Redding scored its final run in the sixth.

Woeck received no defensive support. The Bullets made five errors and only two of the seven runs Wock allowed were earned. Benny Hewson and Conner Oliver combined to allow one hit over the final 3.1 innings
