ing runs in the seventh. Allen

tired the next two batters. Rod
Boykin singled to right, A pitch
hit Luis Urias on the helmet,
loading the bases. With Peter

the game.
“It was nice to finally break
through and get some two-out
base hits,” Volcano manager
Kyle Haines said.
Jebavy, who went straight
from Middle Tennessee State to
the Volcanoes, said wooden bats
were not new to him because
he had played in a wooden bat
league. Asked about his club’s
improvement, he said, “We just
try to play our hardest every
day.”
Gomez said through a trans-
lator that he hit his homer off a
fastball. He is listed on the roster
as a catcher and a third baseman
and played Saturday’s game as
a designated hitter. He said he
was unsure where on the field
he was likely to play eventually
but just hoped to play wherever
there was an opportunity.
Wingenter was the losing
pitcher.
