The first game wasn’t something Delta High School head baseball coach Steve Reiher wanted to discuss. His Panthers, in his words, “laid an egg” in a 14-5 loss to the visiting Gunnison Cowboys in game one of a twinbill. Game two was a much better played contest with excitement down to the last inning in a 7-6 come-from-behind win for the Panthers.

Delta and Gunnison were tied at five all at the end of the third inning. The Panthers had owned a 5-3 lead before Gunnison came to bat in the top of the third. A two-run inning for the Cowboys tied the game. After that, the proverbial “egg” was laid with Gunnison adding nine more runs that produced the 14-5 loss for Delta.
