It isn’t how you start, it’s how you finish, the old saying goes. On Friday night in Gainesville, however, the Riverside Military baseball team proved the opposite can also be true. The Eagles (8-8-1, 6-5 Region 8-A) plated each of their first six batters in the first inning, jumping out to a 6-1 lead, then withstanding a late push by Lakeview Academy to hang on for an 8-5 win at home.
