American River College's week ended like it started, with a disappointing loss at home as the Beavers fell to Feather River College 8-6 on Friday.  The game capped a long 30 hour stretch in which the Beavers dropped both 4 hour games of a double-header with Shasta College on Thursday, then turned right back around to play Feather River in a moved-up 11:00 a.m. start to try and beat the incoming rainstorm.  Feather River got rolling early scoring a run in the 1^st inning and then 4 in the 2^nd inning to go up 5-0 early off of starter Hayden Josephson (Granite Bay).  The Golden Eagles tacked on another run in the 4^th but Josephson settled down and kept the Beavers in the game through the 7^th inning.  A.R.C. made it close with LF Cole Hurtarte (Whitney) hitting a two run double to make the score 6-4.  Feather River tacked on a couple of runs in the 8^th as sophomore RHP Greysen Pulsipher (Cosumnes Oaks) retired the first two batters on four pitches, then lost it on two walks and 3 hit batters to make the score 8-4.  Freshman RF Dodger DeGan (Del Oro, pictured) then came up in the bottom of the 8^th and launched a 1-0 fastball over the left field fence for his first career home run to make the score 8-6.  The Beavers would not get any closer though and the nightmare week ended with the club dropping four straight at home.

A.R.C. continues their homestand with a 2:00 p.m. start against Mission College on Tuesday.
