Eureka baseball moves to 5-0

EUREKA — Rowan Burow and Tristan Butts combined on a five-inning shutout in the first game, and the Eureka Lions went on to sweep Bonners Ferry, Idaho in high school baseball Saturday, 10-0 and 11-4.

Burow allowed three hits and one walk in 4 1-3 innings, fanning four, before Butts retired the final two batters in the opener. Eureka (5-0) jumped ahead 5-0 in the first inning and added two runs in the second. When the Lions scored their 10th run in the bottom of the fifth — on AJ Truman’s bases-loaded single — the game ended under the mercy rule.

Butts had two runs batted in and two runs scored for Eureka; Michael VanGilder had two hits and Rogan Lytle had a double among his two hits and scored twice.
