First game (nine innings): The Thunderbirds led by only 4-3 going into the ninth inning, but SS Sammie Starr hit a bases-loaded double to bat in three runs, and Starr came home on a single by DH Nic Lendvoy. Lendvoy scored the winning run in the sixth inning, on a single by CF Blake Carruthers.
Mark Hardy got his third win of the season, went seven innings, struck out five. Shawn Hetherington went the rest of the way, and retired all six batters he faced. Corban starter Trevor Winsor was one out short of a complete game.
Lendvoy was 3-5 for the game, with three RBI and a double. 3B Steven Candelaria was 2-4 for the Warriors.
Second game: (seven innings): The Birds lead this one 9-0 after four innings. 3B Keaton Briscoe batted in five of the nine runs (3-4 with a home run), and Eric Brown allowed two runs on four hits in six innings.
However, the most remarkable achievement of this game was by Miles Verweel, who pitched the seventh inning, and struck out all four batters he faced. The third strike on the second batter he faced was dropped by C Steve Bone, and his throw to first was off target. Four strikeouts in an inning is a school record, and ties the NAIA record.
Jake Balbas got the loss for the Warriors.
These two games were played at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer, the home field for the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes of the Northwest League. Saturday's double-header will also be played in this ball park.
