SIMPSON, continued from Page 12 as the Tommy John Ligament, Simpson had to have surgery on his pitching elbow. “I had to have a bone mar- row transfusion. They took bone marrow out of my hip and put into my elbow, forc- ing me to miss the 2014 sea- son as well.” Looking forward to 2015, Simpson was ready to rock and roll on the mound; except for one problem. “The bone marrow never fused and the surgery didn’t work.” Simpson opted to have Tommy John surgery to re- place his injured UCL in his elbow.

The 2016 season is Simp- son’s fi rst full season in which he has been able to play since getting drafted three years ago. “Opening day for me was a pretty big deal. This has been the best-worse three years of my life. Getting to where I am at, and fi nally getting back on the fi eld, there just isn’t any- thing like it.” Simpson pitched one in- ning and recorded two strike outs without allowing a run.

Jordan Guerrero, Tri-City’s starter, pitched through the bottom of the fi fth and be- came the winning pitcher at 1-1. Evan Miller pitched the next two innings and Jose Cas- tillo the last two. In the seventh and eighth innings, the Volcanoes loaded the bases with two out but failed to score. In the ninth, Geraldo walked, Ryan Howard struck out, and Quinn doubled to left with Geraldo reaching third, but Castillo retired the next two batters. Haines commented that the game “defi nitely had a lot of teaching moments.” “It also reinforces things about learning to play base- ball,” he said. June 26: Volcanoes 4, Tri-City 3 A walk-off ninth-inning run gave Salem-Keizer a win that evened the series. Tri-City scored the fi rst run in the second inning and made the score 2-0 in the top of the fi fth, but the Volcanoes tied the score in the bottom of the fi fth. Salem-Keizer added a run in the seventh and the Dust Devils tied the score in the eighth before the Volca- noes came out on top. Ashford Fulmer led off the Volcano fi fth with a walk. Gustavo Cabrera, who had four hits in the game, singled, and Kevin Rivera singled to load the bases. Ryan How- ard doubled both of them home. Volcano starter Mac Marshall had an off night for control, allowing six walks, two of which contributed to Tri-City runs. Kendry Melo relieved him after 4-1/3 in- nings, and Jeff Burke closed the game as the winning pitcher at 1-0. Reliever Jesse Scholtens took the loss at 0-1. June 27: Tri-City 7, Volcanoes 2 Stronger hitting and pitch- ing by the Dust Devils meant Salem-Keizer’s fi rst series loss. Each Tri-City player got at least one hit as the visitors outhit the Volcanoes 12-6. Starter Emmanuel Ramirez struck out fi ve in his six in- nings for his fi rst win against no losses. The Dust Devils scored two runs each in the third and seventh innings and one each in the fi rst, second, and ninth. The Volcanoes tied the score in the bottom of the fi rst as Jose Savinon, who had led off with a triple, came home on a wild pitch. In the Volcano seventh, Gustavo Cabrera walked, reached third base on a grounder and an error, and scored on a single by Kevin Rivera. Victor Concepcion started on the mound for Salem- Keizer and was the losing pitcher at 1-2. June 28: Hillsboro 6, Volcanoes 0 The opener at Hillsboro became the fi rst shutout of the season for Salem-Keizer, which lost two games in a row for the fi rst time in 2016. The Hops scored two runs each in the fi fth, sixth, and seventh innings, holding the Volcanoes to four hits. It was a scoreless game for 4-1/2 innings and the fi rst Volcano game this season in which no one scored for the fi rst three. Hillsboro starter Tyler Mark was the winning pitcher at 1-2, going seven innings with 10 strikeouts. The Hop runs came on fi ve singles, two doubles, and a force out Volcano starter Hengerber Medina took the loss for an 0-2 record. The only extra- base hit for Salem-Keizer was a double by Zack Bowers.
