Monda drew three walks, but also stole three bases and the game-winning run from third base.
The victory pushes first-place Evergreen to 9-2 in league, 10-4 overall. Bay drops to 3-8 in league, 5-9 overall.
Josh Hibbard, Evergreen’s starting pitcher who struck out five over four innings in the no-decision, was 1-for-4, as was Nate Tomas.
Carter Morse and Carter Stephens each had two hits for the Eagles.
