MCPHERSON, Kan. – Avila baseball couldn't match McPherson's steady hitting on Friday afternoon, falling to the Bulldogs, 6-1.

Stubblefield led the Eagles, going 3-for-4. The Avila centerfielder was joined by its left fielder, Tommy English, who went 2-4 with a walk on the afternoon.
The two teams will meet again for a doubleheader on Saturday. First pitch is slated for 11 AM.
