HENDERSON, NV, March 18, 2025 — In a thrilling conclusion to their two-game series, the College of Southern Nevada Coyotes edged out Chandler-Gilbert Community College 11-10 at Morse Stadium. This victory elevates CSN's impressive record to 30-6 for the season.

The game was an intense back-and-forth affair that saw multiple lead changes and a combined total of 21 runs scored. CSN, however, clinched the win thanks to a pivotal four-run rally in the seventh inning, underscoring their resilience and offensive firepower.

Kody Bialas, pitching in relief for CSN, secured his first win of the season after a challenging outing where he navigated through the Chandler-Gilbert lineup amidst a high-scoring game. Andrew Kaplan also played a crucial role, picking up his sixth save despite Chandler-Gilbert rallying late in the game.

The match started with Chandler-Gilbert taking an early lead, scoring in the first and adding a significant three runs in both the third and fourth innings, propelled by Gage Easton's three-run homer. CSN responded in the bottom of the fourth with two runs but still found themselves playing catch-up.

CSN's offense came alive in the sixth, sparked by a two-RBI single from Brandon Swanson and additional runs batted in by Chaz McNelis and Roy Durham, setting the stage for their seventh-inning heroics. In that inning, Roy Durham delivered a crucial triple that drove in two runs, giving CSN a lead they would not relinquish.

Defensively, both teams showed some vulnerabilities, with CSN committing three errors that contributed to Chandler-Gilbert's scoring opportunities.
