Volcanoes finish first half 16-22
By HERB SWETT
Of the Keizertimes
Two more big Boise in-
nings gave the Boise Hawks a
10-4 win in Sunday’s rubber
game of this Volcano road se-
ries, the last game played be-
fore Tuesday’s all-star contest.
Salem-Keizer scored the
fi rst run of the game dur-
ing the four innings of Jason
Bahr’s fi rst start of the season.
The Volcanoes got a run in the
fourth and four in the fi fth,
followed by one each in the
sixth and seventh and three in
the eighth.
In the top of the fi rst,
Malique Ziegler singled to
center fi eld, went to sec-
ond base as Bryce Johnson
grounded out, reached third
with his 20th stolen base of
the season, and scored as Ryan
Kirby singled to center.
Kevin Rivera hit a leadoff
single to left for the Volcanoes
in the third but was caught
stealing second despite a pitch
that was in the dirt.
Salem-Keizer leads the
Northwest League in both
steals and time caught stealing.
A double play soon followed.
Bahr allowed Boise four
hits in his four innings but
struck out four and walked
none.
The Hawks’ fi rst run came
when Bret Boswell, who had
hit an infi eld single, scored on
a double by Austin Bernard.
Tyler Schimpf pitched the
fi fth for the Volcanoes. He
walked Cole Anderson with
one out, and LJ Hatch singled
Anderson home and went to
second base as third baseman
Junior Amion was called for
an interference error. Steven
Linkous was hit by a pitch,
and JB Moss loaded the bases
with a single to left. Bret Bo-
swell reached fi rst on a force
attempt, with another Amion
error allowing Hatch and
Linkous to score. A sacrifi ce
fl y to left by Danny Edge-
worth drove in Moss.
Ethan Johnson relieved
starter Nick Kennedy to start
the sixth and held the Volca-
noes scoreless.
In the Boise sixth, Pe-
ter Lannoo took the mound.
Cole Anderson grounded into
a force out and scored on a
double by Hatch.
Jared Westphal pitched to
start the Volcano seventh and
loaded the bases by walking
Dalton Combs, hitting Rob
Calabrese, and walking Ri-
vera. Moises Ceja replaced
Westphal, and Ziegler scored
Combs with a sacrifi ce fl y to
right.
In the Boise seventh, Moss
singled to center and scored
on a double to right by Edge-
worth.
Salem-Keizer scored twice
in the eighth. Michael Sexton
walked and went to third on
a double by Amion. Combs
drove in both with a single to
right.
The Hawks answered with
three runs in the eighth with
Garrett Cave on the mound.
Aubrey McCarty singled to
left and reached second on
a bunt single by Anderson.
A sacrifi ce bunt by Hatch
moved both runners up. Moss
singled to left, driving in both.
A double to center by Boswell
scored Moss.
Mike Bunal replaced Ceja
in the ninth and retired the
Volcanoes in order.
Kennedy was the winning
pitcher. Schimpf took the loss.
Thursday, July 27:
Eugene 8, Volcanoes 5
The host Emeralds took a
2-1 lead in this road series, but
Salem-Keizer continued the
tradition of the ninth-inning
fi ght.
Starter Matt Swarmer’s
pitching, with six strikeouts
in his six innings, and catcher
Mike Cruz’s hot bat were the
main reasons Eugene came
out on top. Cruz had a two-
run homer among his three
hits, and his pitchers totaled
12 strikeouts.
The biggest Volcano hit was
Rob Calabrese’s fi rst profes-
sional home run, but it came
with no one on base.
Trailing 8-3 going into the
ninth, the Volcanoes took ad-
vantage of a wild-pitch third
strike and a baserunning ad-
vance on defensive indiffer-
ence to help two singles pro-
duce two runs.
Swarmer got the win and
starter Alejandro De La Rosa
took the loss.
Friday, July 28:
Volcanoes 4, Boise 1
This three-game road se-
ries opened with Stet Woods
allowing one unearned run
in his 5-1/3 innings for a 3-0
record. Reliever John Russell
got his second save, striking
out eight.
Salem-Keizer had 11 hits,
three by Logan Baldwin, to six
for Boise.
The Volcanoes scored one
run in the second inning and
the Hawks one in the third,
and the visitors scored twice
in the fi fth and once in the
eighth.
Bryce Johnson, Manuel
Geraldo, and Robinson Me-
drano had two hits each
for the Volcanoes. Malique
Ziegler stole his 18th base,
Geraldo his 15th, and Logan
Baldwin his sixth.
Boise starter Ryan Luna
lost his second game.
Saturday, July 29:
Boise 5, Volcanoes 3
A four-run Boise fi fth in-
ning was too much for Salem-
Keizer.
Jose Marte, the Volcanoes’
starting and losing pitcher, had
a no-hitter going through four
innings and a 3-0 lead before
the Hawks beat up on him.
Two doubles, one single, two
errors, a wild pitch, and a force
out provided the four runs.
The Volcanoes had nine
hits, including triples by Lo-
gan Baldwin and Kevin Ri-
vera, to four for Boise, but the
Hawks made their hits and
Salem-Keizer’s mistakes count.
Three Volcanoes were caught
stealing.
Only one of Boise’s hits
was for extra bases, a leadoff
double by Austin Bernard in
the fi fth.
Northwest wins all-star game
By HERB SWETT
Of the Keizertimes
A team of Northwest
League all-stars that included
four Salem-Keizer Volcanoes
beat a team of Pioneer League
all-stars 5-4 Tuesday in Hills-
boro.
Each side had one big in-
ning, all the Pioneer League
runs coming in the second
and all the Northwest League
runs coming in the fi fth.
Nobody pitched more than
one inning. The Volcanoes’
Stet Woods pitched the top
of the fi rst, facing four batters.
He struck out the fi rst batter
but hit the next one, who stole
second base. However, Woods
47 TH ANNUAL
was able to get out of the in-
ning with a deep fl y to Volca-
no Malique Ziegler in center
fi eld, and a strike out.
After Ziegler led off the
NWL fi rst by fl ying out to
center, the Volcanoes’ Manuel
Geraldo, the starting shortstop,
singled to left and stole sec-
ond. However, the next two
batters struck out.
Henry Henry of Tri-City
was the winning pitcher. The
Volcanoes’ Ryan Kirby started
as designated hitter, but did
not hit safely. Tri-City’s Luis
Asuncion was named most
valuable player.
The game was between
representatives of two of the
lowest levels of professional
baseball. The NWL, a short-
season A league, is third from
the bottom. The Pioneer
League had just moved up to
the newly created Advanced
Rookie level.
