Emeralds: Team connects on only five hits during loss to Spokane
Continued from page 5
June 22: Ems lose 6-1
to Spokane
Eugene committed three errors,
while connecting on only five hits in
a 6-1 defeat at the hands of Spokane
to even the series at one game apiece.
“(The Indians) swung the bats well,”
Howell told The Register-Guard.
“The bottom line is they beat us. We
made some silly mistakes (in the
field) that cost us.”
The Indians scored a run in the first
and last two innings, while tagging
two more runs on the board in the
fourth inning.
Ben Krosschell pitched 3 1/3 in
nings, giving up four earned runs on
five hits and two walks to take the
Eugene loss.
Cavanaugh scored the Ems’ only
run with a solo home run in the
seventh inning.
June 23: Ems win 3-2
against Spokane
Sansoe earned his way on base in
each of his four at-bats, including the
game-winning hit in the seventh in
ning of a 3-2 triumph over Spokane.
“The coaching staff preaches hit
ting fastballs,” said Sansoe, who fin
ished with three singles and two
RBIs. “All you can do is take advan
tage of opportunities.”
Sansoe took advantage in his final
appearance at the plate, where he
lined a first-pitch fastball up the mid
dle to score Kelvin Vazquez, who hit a
double in the previous at-bat.
“As a hitter, you’ve got to get on the
fastball and hit it,” Howell said. “If you
are looking for the breaking ball, the
fastball gets by you. Get on the fastball
and adjust to the slower speed.”
Spokane scored two runs in the first
inning; however, Eugene tied the game
at two in the fifth. Richardson led off
the inning with a single and Jones
walked. Vazquez executed a sacrifice
bunt, advancing the runners before
Sansoe ripped an RBI single that
scored Richardson. Jones scored on a
fielder’s choice by Rivera.
“The philosophy is get them on, get
them over and get them in,” Howell
said. “Do the little things and we win
the ball game.”
June 24: Ems outlast
Spokane 10-8
Eugene completed its second
consecutive come from behind victory
after a 10-8 survival over Spokane to
win the series. Spokane broke a 1-1 tie
with three runs in the third and two in
the fourth inning. Eugene answered
with a rally of its own by scoring three
runs in the fourth and fifth inning.
“Obviously both sides were seeing
the ball better; both sides were swing
ing the bat well,” Howell said.
Killian came up with a three-run
triple on the first pitch to give the Ems
a 7-6 lead in the fifth inning.
“If you are going to swing at first
pitch fastball, you better barrel the ball
hard somewhere,” Howell said.
The ball was laced into the right
field corner, allowing Killian to slide
into third base without a throw.
“When you see it (the ball) go to the
outfield, it is nice to touch a couple of
bases,” said Killian, who finished with
two hits and four RBIs.
Sansoe, who led off the sixth inning
with a triple, was brought home on a
sacrifice fly by Cavanaugh.
Spokane tied the game in the
eighth inning; however, the Ems an
swered with a rally of their own in
the bottom half of the inning. Jones
hit an infield single and advanced to
second on an overthrow on the play
to begin the inning. Vazquez sacri
ficed Jones to third before Sansoe
slapped an infield single, where
Jones scored as the ball hit him in the
back during a play at the plate. San
soe scored as the Spokane center
fielder hobbled a single by Rivera in
the next at-bat.
