JULY 8, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 Volcanoes 3-7 in last 10 games By HERB SWETT For the Keizertimes The Volcanoes’ losing streak ran to six Saturday with a 4-3 loss to the Emeralds in Eugene. Salem-Keizer took a 2-0 lead in the second inning, but Eugene scored three times in the third and added a run in the seventh. The Volcanoes, who had one of their lowest- hitting games at four, had just one more run, in the eighth. In the Volcano second, Ryan Howard led off with a single to right fi eld. Ryan Kir- by doubled to right, driving him in. Kirby moved to third base on a long fl y to right by John Riley, and Gustavo Ca- brera scored him with a sacri- fi ce fl y to left. Victor Concepcion, Salem- Keizer’s starting pitcher, al- lowed only one batter to get on base in his fi rst two innings and struck out four. In the bottom of the third, however, Eugene’s Tyler Paine led off with a triple to left center. Yeiler Peguero brought him home with a sacrifi ce fl y to center. Concepcion struck out the next batter but walked the next, DJ Wilson. Andruw Monasterio drove Wilson in with a double to right. A walk to Taylor Davis fol- lowed, and Matt Rose singled to left to score Monasterio. Concepcion walked Kevonte Mitchell to load the bases but struck out Wladimir Galindo to end the inning. Concepcion, who became the losing pitcher at 1-3, was relieved by Nick Sabo after three innings. Sabo kept the Emeralds scoreless through his three innings but loaded the bases in the fi fth. Eugene’s Michael Knigh- ton relieved starter Manuel Rondon after four innings and became the winning pitcher with a 1-0 record. Mark Malave pitched the ninth for Eugene, getting his second save. “Every area (of the game) we’ve got to get better at,” Volcano manager Kyle Haines commented. He added that he was continuing to focus on training, saying it is more im- portant than wins and losses in the low minor leagues. Howard, who had the fi rst hit of the game and scored the fi rst run, said the players needed to improve hitting in the clutch. “We need to be able to get the job done in situational hit- ting,” he said. July 3: Volcanoes 3, Eugene 0 Henberger Medina had his best start so far, ending a six-game losing streak and de- priving the host Emeralds of a series sweep. Throwing 85 pitches in his six innings, he allowed only four hits, struck out four and walked none. He won his fi rst game against two losses, and Caleb Simpson got his second save. Salem-Keizer outhit Eu- gene 10-5, with Gio Brusa and Ryan Kirby getting three hits each. Outfi eld defense shone on both sides, with plenty of long drives ending up in gloves. In the fourth inning, Brusa led off with a single, moved up on singles by Bryan Reynolds and Heath Quinn, and scored on a sacrifi ce fl y by Ryan Howard. Kirby then singled Reynolds home. In the sixth, Howard singled, reached third on a double by Kirby, and scored as Julio Pena grounded out. July 4: Vancouver 4, Volcanoes 2 The Canadians put Salem- Keizer back into the loss col- umn as the Volcanoes started their home series with their Fourth of July game.

They scored the fi rst run of the game in the fi rst inning, Vancouver scored the next two, the hosts tied the score in the fi fth, and the visitors scored twice in the seventh. Salem-Keizer’s Gio Bru- sa went 3 for 3 but neither scored nor drove in a run. The fi rst Volcano run came when Bryan Reynolds singled home Ashford Fulmer, who had led off with a walk. Fulmer also scored the other run, lead- ing off with a single, reaching third on a single by Brusa, and crossing the plate on a wild pitch. The Volcanoes outhit the Canadians 11-10, but Vancou- ver’s Christian Williams hit the only home run of the game. July 5: Volcanoes 6, Vancouver 4 Salem-Keizer evened the series in this close one, an- swering Vancouver’s eighth- innning run with one in the same inning and keeping the lead. The Volcanoes outhit the Canadians 14-10 and made three double plays. The hosts scored two of their runs in the fi fth inning. Gio Brusa singled, ad- vanced on a single by Bryan Reynolds and a wild pitch, and came home on a single by Ryan Howard. Zack Bow- ers drove in Reynolds with a single.
